Nope, quite a different feel and look; almost like non-stick in appearance.
Genuine VW part (and genuine throwout).  Normally they are shiny metal,
even the water-cooled ones.  The new throwout bearing I fitted had a
plastic ribbed inner lining to match.

Okay, that was one of the possibilities that I had considered. I
think we just call it the throwout bearing guide sleeve. I never saw
a black one, but somethimes they LOOK black because of all the dirt
mixed in the grease that they are coated with.
