My friend Steve felt the clutch on his 2000 Golf Mk IV PD Diesel (6 speed)
slip the other day - and because he is taking the car on holiday on the
continent in a couple of weeks, he started looking at prices for a
replacement clutch. Because it may make sense getting the Dual Mass
flywheel thingy done at the same time, the cheapest quotes he could find
were from about 700-1000 UKP, not great news with a holiday imminent.

The thing is though the clutch hasn't slipped since, this is after a week
or two with just another hundred miles or so on the clock.

Is it possible/likely that what he experienced was just the clutch
automatically adjusting itself, and he has no special reason to worry - or
should he bite the bullet and get the clutch done now.

I appreciate this is probably impossible to be sure of, but I/he would be
very interested in your thoughts.

Cheers for any help.




All the best,
Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
