Going to get my clutch done soon. 200tdi.
Getting low on funds now so trying to save where I can for parts ect.
Just got a very good used Valeo Clutch given with only 12000 geneine miles on it.
Would it be OK to fit this ??or should I go for brand new one, just thought the money I save would go towards fork, thrust bearing ect ect.
 
I have a brand new hd fork you can have.

No idea on the used question tho...

Edit: Assuming a 300 fork is the same as the 200.
 
Why is it a used one ?

Just think about having to do the whole job twice if the used clutch doesn't work right ?

I know about saving money but sometimes it's best to pay a little extra.

Got it given off a Mate who is doing a full rebuild so changed everything in his.

what about the pressure plate? if clutch disc is gone so is the pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bushing

Dont fit the britpart clutch kit otherwise you will be juddering away, ask me how I know!
If youve got the time but not the money go with the 2nd hand clutch kit.
I fitted a new friction plate with a second hand cover from a mate for my s2 tdi conversion, 4 yrs later and approx 5k its still way nicer to use than the 90 one.
Many years ago I used to run a hgv workshop and if we caught the failing clutch in time we only replaced the friction plate, the cover would go again, good driver 500k was possible, bad one a few weeks!
