Clutch slipping, advice needed

[mike1990]

Hello,

my golf gti 1.8 aum is slipping, revs go up no acceleration then boom it feels like the turbo kicks in(can hear it whilst reving)

just wondering if i should get the OEM clutch and flywheel or should i upgrade?

My car is stock

You may aswell do the g60/vr6 upgrade imo, it'll cost almost the same and you'll never have to do the clutch again after that.

anyone?

I just chuck a Valeo conversion kit in a lot of the time, comes with everything including bolts and costs me £149 a go.

Never had an issue.

It is effectively a G60 flywheel and VR6 clutch in a way.

Mine cost the same, I got mine from techniclutch on ebay and haven't had any problems, a fair few people have had a problem with them though, so it's up to you whether you buy from them.

The cheapest kit I could find

I can do you a Borg & Beck (so a very well known respected brand) kit for £171 (4 piece kit with solid flywheel)

That's an awesome price.

Soo cheap for petrol clutch kits!
Diesel kits (esp the 6 speed) cost the earth!

You never know, give us your car details and I will see what's about (even dual mass flywheels are no where near as pricey as they was)
