Re. Ebay flywheel/clutch is listed for 'Mk4' aged cars not earlier Mk3's not sure what's different, perhaps the release bearing (which you dont need). Also it'll be 'foreign' manufacture, personally I stick with VW, LUK or Sachs. Don't forget to get a T3 release bearing, and the correct screws for the SMF flywheel (DMF ones are longer).
Re. timing, as you're not having to modify the flywheel, you'll retain the original Golf timing mark. The easy way is to use the correct timing tool to find TDC. However you could use the Golf bellhousing to set TDC (after fitting the new flywheel) then use the T3 bellhousing to make a timing mark on the TDI pressure plate. I use a 1mm disc in an angle grinder.

Re: AFN Dual mass flywheel ? can i use it ?
poop .. one last problem .. is the input shaft idle bearing !
my TDI shaft wobbles in the current one .. so will need to try and find one tomorrow ...anyone have a part no ?
guess it depends on my crank though
