Learned today my 2.0 flywheel has been turned at least once. Concerned about doing it again but would like to know the minimum tolerances for the offset (depth of the plate surface and the pressure plate mounting surface). Can't seem to find it in the workshop manual.
Dave has a full diagram.
Search here, it’s been posted.

It was suggested in that thread (and by the new flywheel I purchased from PP at the time ) that the diagram was for a -6 flywheel. I never got a definitive answer for a type 4 flywheel after creating that post.
Thanks much.
A good VW machine shop should know that info and when the flywheel is turned the same amount should have been removed from the PP mounting surface.
This is called a dual or step cut and will be more expensive than a single cut.
I don't have a measurement either but if you can get Eric on the phone he would probably know.

This machine shop specialized in VWs first...
I've known Eric since he was 5 years old.
His dad Tom started AM in the 70s I believe.
He now modifies type 1 engines into oil field equipment for the removal of natural gas and contaminates from oil wells.
Ever seen a V8 that 1/2 of it was a compressor?
He did the same basic thing with a type 1.
There is a picture of it under VW parts header on his web site if you're interested.
Just looked at that other thread.
If you are asking about measurement C (disc surface to flywheel bolt mounting surface)
I have a 73 2.0 flywheel that I believe has never been turned and its C measurement is right at 9mm so I'm thinking 9 is what they start out as and not a minimum thickness measurement.
In your shoes I'd call AM anyways.
He's very hard to get on the phone. Leaving a message is usually a requirement.
