clutch slipping on 0n b5.5

[aceventura]

High Ive recently purchased an 05 highline 1.9tdi 130 with high miles , the clutch pedal is biting at the very last and i suspect the clutch is starting to slip {ouch} Do i need to purchase a full kit ie:dual mass flywheel ect or can just the clutch plate just be changed and at what sort of prices am I looking at ? The car still drives and im now not using it until ive resolved the issues incase of more damage !

First of all, you need to establish if the clutch is actually slipping or not, if not, a high-biting clutch
can last for ages.

If it is slipping, then its best to replace the clutch-plate/pressure-plate/thrust-bearing and DMF.

Prices will vary for both parts and labour, so shop around.

Thanks for fast reply jim , Ill test it out properly as ive only drove it once ! othe query I have is the engine and gearbox type on my vehicle im not to sure which they are ? I took the engine cover off and checked block and saw RAU 6 But on the body vin tag it states AWX 1853 ? So is the engine AWX or RAU 6 I sumise ill need to know before I purchase the clutch parts ?

Most motor factors just need the reg number, but its handy to have the
engine, box and vin numbers, also 5 or 6 speed.

BTW What mileage is on the car?

That's not too bad, plenty of life left in her yet!!

It's probably been driven carefully, or the clutch would have given-up a long time ago.
