New clutch costs?

[Leepash]

So i'm going to be getting my Scirocco pretty soon, looking at a 2010 model with maybe 60-70k on the clock.

Getting a remap and i'm going to put a bit of money away just incase the clutch does start slipping. Iv'e been looking around the forums quite a bit and iv'e seen people quote as much as £1000 to get it sorted. However ive been on euro parts and found a Sachs clutch kit for just £270, and i'm guessing labour would be something between £150-£200? I dont get how ive seen a few quotes for £1,000 unless i'm missing something here?

The sachs kit on euro car parts will be equivalent to the standard clutch. Im not sure whether it will slip or not after remapping. I have recently fitted a sachs performance clutch plate, clutch cover and a sachs dmf from euro car parts ready for stage 2 remap. I got the plate and cover direct from sachs themselves.
Perhaps enquire about their performance clutch, i went for the 550nm (torque) one. Could be a good option for a remapped car

A lot of people also fit a new DMF when they fit a new clutch so that could be a reason for the higher quote price.

A VW dealer would charge around 1K to 1.2k for a DSG. Manual would be cheaper?

Ah right, if i'm just going for a stage one and that's all i'll ever get for it. The specs are - 207bhp > 262 bhp and 207 lb/ft > 310 lb/ft, do you think a standard clutch will do?

Ah yes, I do remember seeing about a DMF put in as well. Do you think this is essential ?

Ive just had a dual mass fly wheel, clutch and fitting on my 2012 tdi. However warranty covered the flywheel and labour as they deemed it at fault, i added the clutch for my peace of mind.

Costs:
DMF supplied by Warranty
Labour £354 (paid for by warranty)
Clutch: £235 (I paid)

Thats £589 for clutch and labour, but dunno if labour is higher due to flywheel change?
