The clutch project is a bit frustrating. Apparently there are two vendors, Luk and Sachs, that were OEM. Both claim to use with their own flywheel only. OK, how to figure out who made the flywheel on the car? Car will be ramped today and I will look for markings. Also taking a trip to a dealer first maybe they will know.
Still not sure if afermarket is worth it. The added holding torque is only needed if the ecu is tunned, and the boy is not sure he wants to do it.
Also aftermarket clutches have a preference for Luk flywheels.
And the audi forums are not very helpfull as they seem to be full of clueless 20 something with no knowledge and contradicting statements.

Just call a dealer and give them the VIN #. They should be able to look it up from there.

Too bad you're not further south. Hardey's Motorwerks in Parker is amazing and reasonable.
