Clutch slipping on modified GTI
« on: 07 October 2017, 13:03 »
Hi .. 2014 GTI with full milltek and stage 2 bluefin .. only 17000miles on the clock . Clutch is slipping slightly of course especially in high gears at slower speeds ..
can I upgrade the clutch and what would I expect to pay ?  .. love this car it's defo a keeper but I'm afraid the clutch slip will get worse .. I am of course avoiding taking the car to the point where it slips as much as possible...
cheers Darren

Hi,

I'm on stage 1 Apr tune, running that uprated Sachs clutch with no issues.
I also purchased the release bearing and bolts also.

Purchased mind from Rubén at Tuningwerkes.

Was it a big job to fit it ?

3-4 hours I'd say for someone that knows what they are doing  :smiley:

VW aberdeen quoted 7 hrs and £85 hr +vat !    Good local tech quoted me £300 and he said it more like 5 hrs
Any recommendations of what to fit ?  The sachs above looks ok but will i need other parts ?

This has only just started to show signs of slipping ... if i return the car to standard power will the clutch be ok ?
