Can anyone shed some light on this please?

I would have to disagree, I ran this on my previous GTI and it still slipped and made a very loud wobble sound on tick over. VWR removed it and said they no longer change the clutch only, it should be mated up with the Sachs flywheel.

If I was you I would put the full kit in as the box is out so you might as well

I'm only going by what I experienced and listening to the advice of Matt and Simon at VWR. :happy2:

In my defence there was no mention of the cover plate until Gaz mentioned it! :P then it jogged my memory....come on it has been 6-8 months since I discussed this with Matt. I am getting old! :ashamed:
