Not sure if this will help...

There was a small article in a recent Hot VW magazine (Sep-Oct 2007
Tech Talk) that talked about two possible reasons for your problem:

1) The clutch disc mating surface on the flywheel is resurfaced
removing metal, but the mounting surface where the pressure plate
mounts is not cut down by the same amount. The disc sits in a deeper
recess and the clutch adjustment is affected.

2) Cheap clutch disks coming from China that are thicker than normal.
This means that after bolting down the pressure plate the springs/
fingers are already in a partially compressed state and the normal
pedal travel can't get the pressure plate to disengage. The
difference is not noticeable to the naked eye but it results in not
being able to fully disengage the clutch.
