What engine are you working on? Does the flywheel have an 'O' ring?
Cheers dave

If you need more room for the shims,
the area that the shims ride on is where it needs to be machined, not the crank mounting face.
Please make sure that your measurment is accurate though.
Some times you can get a false reading if the cylinders and pistons are fitted.
Try one of your shims, and see if the end float IS reduced by that same amount.
This will enable you to calculate the amount of machining required,
or determine if something else is going on.
It is quite rare to not be able to fit at least two shims in there ,
but even then it is because something is not quite original VW.
