• I am curious if the clutch pressure plates for a 1.6L Diesel is the same as the 2.4L(6cyl) or the 2.0L(5cyl) diesel engines? I actually need one for a 2.4L but have a good one from a 1.6L as well as a 2.0L. Thanks VW

• No. Clutch depends of transmission&engine combo.

  5 and 6 cyl engines have 8 bolts holding the flywheel to the engine.
  
  4 cyl engines have 6 bolts that hold the pressure plate to the engine.
