Dont have a reciept - the head Master tech at EICH VW in St.Cloud, MN (My home town) and another tech from vw did it on a Saturday (service department is closed on sat)

It was pretty sweet though they were cool guys and i got to watch them do it - it took 4 hours and again cost me $200 (obviously cash) and an extra $20 for CV boot replacement that we found out was torn so a total of $220

(if you dont get the point yet, they did it when the dealership was closed, so it was just us 3 in the lift bay)




heres from another thread though from a while back

"yeah all labor will be done by me... i dont think i would pay someone to install anything but a clutch on my car (which i paid $200 a couple months ago at eich vw dealership in stc !!!! so i couldnt pass that up)*

but i would probably do it with help i guess, preferably someone who has done a bt upgrade before"

 

AKA Side Job. I have a customer in Sac that does side jobs and he is a Audi tech.

 

wait, flynnr,

you're from st.cloud too?!

 

yeah! go to www.mnaudi.com its an awesome forum - very active and some really great and smart guys

but yeah there are a ton of us audi guys in stc.... we just went out for BWW last night, but it was closed so went to TGI instead.

Here is a crappy cell pic i took last night - this was before some other guys showed - we also have an imola S4 and a Santorian S4 and some others

i replaced my clutch for 900 bucks, your getting seriously ripped off if you go with that.

Flywheel + Flywheel Bolt + Clutch Slave Cylinder + Clutch Kit = $750 where I got my parts

 

@ Mike2PTZero: I have it chipped, but that's it. A stock OEM replacement might not be a good idea if I have it chipped? I'll talk to the shop about getting the flywheel resurfaced. He said they would look at it, and if I wanted it resurfaced, it would add $100.
@alexmurphy: Yeah, I'm definitely not going with the shop that had the original estimate. $900 (total) - $750 (parts) = $150 (labor), You only payed $150 for labor?

 

Just make sure the person resurfacing it knows what they are doing, I have seen too many messed up by people that had no clue how to resurface a Audi dual mass flywheel.

Stock clutch on a chipped K03 quatto is ok if you drive it like a granny. If you drive it aggressive you need a stage 2 or stage 3 kit. Now if you were FWD you would be fine since there is less load on the same clutch in a FWD car.

If you want to stick with a organic disk go with a CM FX100 over a stock clutch. CM 228mm FX100 will hold around 290-300 ft lbs of tq. This is because it uses a metal backed organic disk and 1800 lbs clamping load vs the 1300 lbs for the stock clutch

 

thats ridiculous! i cruised division for like an hour and a half last night looking for something to do/calling friends and some how i didnt see you guys.

that looks like its in the TGI fridays parking lot right next to noodles and that wireless shop right by crossroads? haha

damn, that sucks :/

 

the guy i take my car to doesnt work for any repair shop or anything. he used to work for Audi, putting cars together (i think), and now hes retired with full benefits and works on cars for a hobby. hes not really interested in the money part of it so he only charges 30 bucks an hour

 

Why would your soon to be wife have any say of what happens to your car? You haven't even married her yet and she is telling you what to do? LOL

A good clutch job shouldn't cost anymore than $1500.
