The A3 020 trannys(dfq) do not have a hydraulic clutch, they are exactly the same as a 16v tranny(agb, 2y). The main difference is gearing in the dfq is taller, the final drive is different, and the electronic speedo sender in the speedo cable hole. the difference in flywheels from a3 and a2 cars is the alignment pins for the pressure plates are in different spots. you can use either one on your 16v as long as you use the matching pressure plate. I'd recommend you stick with the 16v stuff, the pressure plate should be marginally stronger. you can use either clutch disk(16v or a3) but again i'd use the 16v one. which ever flywheel you get, definitely get a lightened one.
