Save your money and just buy valeo or LUK.

Valeo
If not then LUK or helix

[bushy90]

Where can you purchase the LUK or Helix from?

[saxomax]

i thought luk have noisey thrust bearings?

[chinkostu]

always best to go for valeo. its OEM and most people use them for uprated engines and have no problems.

half the time its the release bearing thats shat itself

[KrisB]

I would get Valeo, it's all i ever fit.

If you can make it down to Sussex i can do it for £190 all in.

Rumour has it they do for around 500-1k miles, then its sorted. Like settling in sort of thing. Ive never had the issue but then again I dont often use LUK, I always use valeo where possible

+1 we only fit LUK at work and never had any problems with them i got one in the vtr and was only 75 quid and as said they make a noise for the first 1k miles its more just a swushing noise.

Bet it wasnt funny at the time my clutch was slipping, and bearing squeeling like a fucker, and I think I did about 1200 paranoid miles with it like that
