I dont know about diesels but on my mk1 petrol it has the concentric slave clyinder in with the clutch in the gear box

he is correct but the parts are not expensive

yeah thats why i sold my last car cause of dual mass flywheel mind you this car is costing a bomb changed turbo 2 mth ago cause oil giong into the intercooler from the turbo broght another turbo thats seems to be doing the same it never ends lol

if the dmf is needing done which usually is the case it gets very expensive my mate gets a lot of diesels traded in for either dmf or dpf issues and as such does not take many diesels at all the joy of running cheap diesels

yes dmf's are not the cheapest part to replace but the op was asking about a clutch and slave clynder.

Yes he was, he stated that his clutch was slipping, but a duel mass flywheel comes as part and parcel of the job, not worth changing one without the other ?

Not 100% sure if yours actually does have one, ive never owned a tddi, you'll need someone who has changed a clutch on one for that info, if it hasn't then your clutch should'nt be too expensive a job, fingers crossed for you lol.
