Owned an 06 Rabbit, 2.5, auto, for 8 years. 90k to 230k, and wouldn\u2019t hesitate to own another. Dual mass flywheels, vac pump leaks (autos), and valve bodies are the Achilles, otherwise these are solid.

Jaocobpossibly, great post and information. I was able to use your information and links to figure out what to do about my flywheel clutch on my AZG! Well, sort of anyway...now, at least I know that I too have a 215mm set up. My flywheel is an 068105271, and I have been unable to find one, or any information on it. I finally found out that it was replaced by 038105269 in 2006, so that explains it. I've been searching for clutch options for this for a while, and now I at least know what will be an oem style replacement. I also have a single mass flywheel in my 2001 wagon 2.0. Thanks for posting that information!!!
Apparently my flywheel crapped out. The tech said it has excessive play. The clutch pedal is a little stiffer, which is probably a good thing.
Clutch- flywheel from a corrado g60 or Passat 16v -disc and pressure plate from above mentioned or corrado vr or passat vr or mk3 vr You cannot use a vr flywheel because it has 10 bolt holes vs 6 bolt hole to mount it to the crank Unless you are making big power just get an oem type clutch.
If you want to resurface the flywheel too while you are at it check out what themagellan did to keep it from spinning - good tip.
Apparently it's the flywheel and there's an updated part from VW. As you guys mentioned the 'hoot'/shriek/creak/grind happens when there's load, ie. having more than one passenger, going uphill, reversing, etc..
