I have to put in a new clutch soon in my 99 a4 1.8TQ, and the mechanic told me I wouldn't have to replace the flywheel unless it was a composite because they can't resurface those. Does anyone know if it's a composite flywheel in my model?

 

im pretty sure u have a daul mass flywheel so u have to change it.

 

dang, that would add like another $700

 

If the surface is smooth (no scoring) you may get away with keeping the fly-wheel and just replace friction/pressure plates and the throw-out bearing... depends on your finances at this point.

 

ok thanks. i think i'm going to drive it till it goes, and then see.
