Hi they don't use a pilot bearing therefore its normally the Dual Mass Flywheel on its way out so complete clutch replacement is the only option I am afraid.

Hi find another garage without a sense of humour, just over a grand for a full four piece clutch including labour.

Hi, i found the cheapest flywheel on Autodoc for 472, they charge £400 labour and £600 for parts, on eurocarpats it’s £1,200

Hi you need to replace the whole thing, all four parts as it all wears as a set and the whole clutch will work out cheaper.
