VW TDI clutch question

yup, my family likes VWs
(i even had a few myself, including a 1.8T passat with a reflashed ECU that held 18 PSI of boost all day long...hitting 3200 RPM like that car felt like getting rearended by a semi)

but yeah, the dual mass flywheels are almost a interval maintenance item
i not sure about that particular diesel engine, but research the timing chain
my gas engines were interval engines and the chain was RnR was just shy of a thousand real dollars (probably more your side of the falls)
so be sure to check if that needs to get done soon or not
