I can safely assume I would have better luck finding a low mileage O2O from an A3 than an older 16V. To clarify, would it require the 8V pressure plate and the 16V clutch disk? Could I still use the same 210mm flywheel or one from an A3? is there a difference in the Flywheels?

If you go to an A3 020 you'd need a hybrid clutch set up (8V plate and 16V disc) but not a big deal.
