what are my options?
Took the golf in to have something else done and asked them to look at the clutch whilst it was in. (Felt like it was slipping at higher rpm)
They then called back saying the oil seal is leaking and that I need to book the car back in next week.
Should I need to pay for this seeing as they fitted it? Anybody else had this happen to them?
Cheers

You say bad workmanship.
They say inferior seal supplied.
You can't prove either way.

similar to this http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Crank-seal-T25-1-6-1-7D-Mk1-Golf-Caddy-068103051G_act_shop.product_pID_199730.htm
I had a chat with rich at crazyquiffs, and he recommended getting that changed when doing the clutch. so i bought the seal from them.
but yeah, like you say. gonna be hard to prove whats at fault here. if oil has been leaking from there? is it a case of replacing the seal again?
I have the invoice still which notes labour for fitting the oil seal and for doing the clutch.

for the box there are 3 parts to change you have the input shaft seal round the input shaft, plus the pushrod seal and brass bush
Welcome to BrokeVW.com
this kit has the above plus seals and dust caps for the driveshaft flanges, it may be worth havign those done if leaky but thats your call:
