Fair enough, no I haven’t used them so make no recommendation. Personally I always use main dealers.

 

[J88arv]

I haven’t tried the main dealer as yet for a price but can image it’s a hefty one

 

[Niknak]

I’d advise steering clear of any mr clutch tbh from past involvement,

Where would you go mate?

 

[Mud Digger]

cant recommend sorry but will this help Volkswagen Van Centre (Nottingham), Nottinghamshire, or you have Volkswagen Van Service Nottingham

Sorry mate but I’d do mine myself, or if you know a good independent

 

[Niknak]

Don’t rule out maindealer get a quote cause I know the one near me has hardly got any work, get an agreed price

I’ve had one done at Epperstone by-pass garage and one done at the main dealer at Beeston. Wasn’t a lot in it price wise as VW is fixed price hence why I went main dealer second time. But I’d happily recommend either.

from what i have read in here. it seems it is so on the older models the front and rear seals can start leaking. they have a design problem and VW wont recall on it. what milage is your van to need a clutch.

84k jist spoke to Vw Beeston and really helpful. Told me not to worry as they to get noisy when hot from time and as mine isn’t consistent not to worry but try get a vid to save the cost of “fault finding”

Noisy ? you mean a wearing when you push the clutch down ... no smell of burning or slipping when you Accelerate

Yeah like a rattle when used hard only now and then no smell or slipping
