Why? My master mechanic said it's not needed?

It's not needed but there have been plenty of leaks reported so it's recommended to upgrade it while you're in there. $100 well spent imo

The guy who I contacted from sach's said to use their bearing. I usually go with an oem but I'm wondering if I should follow his directions.

Well of course they would, promote there own product.:D if the clutch is meant to be a direct factory replacement you don't need a special bearing.

I would.. it's probably the same since they make OEM parts for us, but price is similar iirc so I'd do it

Is there a better one you would recommend? I haven't seen the leak threads on here...

There seemed to be a few but then the issues died down so it may have been a build date issue. Here's the one you want to get:

Edit - alternatively you could add two more bolts if you don't want to replace it. VW decided to only put 6 since they said 8 weren't needed.. even though the block is threaded for 8 lol

So another 100 bucks eh? Is it worth it or needed is the question.... have you seen anyone with leak issues on 16+ GTIs? If you can find 1-2, then I will certainly do it....if no issues reported, I think I will just find the bolts and order them
