It looks like this:

Would you be happy putting that back in a vehicle?

We get away with flywheels like this all the time on mail vans, but its always a difficult call on your own vehicle.

I would replace it or get it skimmed at a local rebuilders/engineering shop or is that not economical.

They only look to be minor surface cracks, it would not worry me at all and i have seen alot of flywheels.

i would use it! for two reasons, one i already have it so i don't have to pay for it and two i have no idea what it is/does so couldn't possibly know if it is a good one or not!!

if you want to replace at any time just let me know (i have loads of them)i can pass on to someone and get it across country via the vw network i should imagine

Needs surface grinding, to get it back to flatness... else it might slip

a lathe tool wouldn't even graze it I doubt.

Oh, I hear that it slips a bit...
