Refacing and balancing flywheel as opposed to replacing?
Discussion
I'm due for a clutch replacement, but do not know yet whether the flywheel needs replacing. If it does, I'm looking at an additional £750 approx! However, one clutch specialist had said that they have the equipment to reface and balance the flywheel for a mere £80. It's for a 2009 Audi A4 2.0T FWD and I don't intend on keeping the car for more than 6 months or 6000 miles.
What should I do?

More than likely it's a dual mass flywheel, so whoever is saying they can reface it is probably talking nonsense.
They are a wear and tear item and will need replaced.
Or look to see if companies offer a single mass flywheel replacement kit. ie a normal solid flywheel which never give any trouble.
If your car already has a solid flywhgeel ( less likely ) then yes it can be refaced, and it would not need rebalanced.

A quick google search suggests these were fitted with a spring-less clutch disc, meaning the presence of a dual mass flywheel.
Should you decide to move to a single mass flywheel set up, you will need a spring-centered clutch disc. In that case you might also check if it's possible to use a crank pulley featuring a vibration damper, though it might not be necessary on a 2.0 engine.
