Ok so how bad is it?
Any ideas on whatcould be the problem?
Driving home today, the car is perfectly normal up to about 25000 revs, then the turbo kicks in. It seems to lose ALOT of power, the revs reach the limit very quickly but there is still power to a certain extent. If I then change gear it is fine again until the turbo kicks in.
Im hoping its not the turbo on its way out?
First though was a lose pipe, have checked what I can get to and all seem fine. Have left it for an hour, taken it for a drive again and doing the same thing.
PLEASE HELP!! Any ideas greatly welcomed.
Cheers,
Nick

That's when the car produces the most torque and it over powers the clutch.

I see. Great :cry:
Must be telling me it wants an upgrade lol

That's the spirit,"if it breaks,upgrade it" :wink:
Not as expensive as you think either.

Lol I think that depends on how much spare cash you have!!!??? How much am I looking at do you think?
Other signs to look out for? Burning smell? Not getting into gear smoothly?? :undecided:

Both classic signs that the clutch has had it.
The G60/VR6 combo is a very good upgrade for a mk4.You need the flywheel from a golf/corrado G60/and the clutch from a mk3 VR6.With time you can hunt the parts down,but it sounds like you need to sort it out asap.So you'll have to pay a premium.
These are the part numbers for everything you need.
Fly - 037 105 273 A
Cover - 021 141 025 FX
Friction - 021 141 031 CX
Bearing - 02A 141 165 A
Flywheel Bolts x6 N90206103
Compression Plate Bolts x6 N10101001

def sounds like the clutch is slipping, does it not regain power at all? before you change gear?
in my old car, it was like i had nos lol, it slipped then it felt like a big boost! lol wen the power caught back up :grin:
-
Yeh it does catch up, but by then im at the rev limiter so having to ease off the gas and change gear :sad:
Patch, cheers for your help mate, approx how much do you think for parts??

How difficult is it to fit? Ie how much labour would it take do you think?? Also any ideas from anyone how much it would be to replace for standard parts??
Cheers for all the advice! Nick

Standard set up will be much more expensive believe it or not :wink:
It just bolts straight on same as fitting standard set up .
IIRC i got all the parts and fitting for 340 pounds :evil:
Around 4hs labour i would think bud.
Dam sorry to hear about the camera - might be able to go to one of those speeding courses to avoid the points? :undecided:
