Title: clutch and brakes
Post by: bobreece on 01 April 2010, 20:50

i hhad a remap and noew my clutch is slipping what amount of torque can the oem clutch take?

also i was told that i wont know what clutch i will need till i take the one i have off as you need to know what brand beacuase of the flywheels are different between sachs and lcuk

also how much is new one and where from?

had my brakes bled and now the peadal is not very good so i went back they redid the bleed but only did rears and asked my to try it it was alot better but i asked them to check the fronts as well after they bled the fronts its even worse now and the garage said it prob the master cylinder.

how much is a new master cylinder?

and do you guys think it could be the master cylinder as it felt good after just rears where done.

Sounds like the garage doesn't know how to bleed mk4 brakes. How did they do it?
As for the clutch do a search but most would say go for the VR6/G60(or 16v ABF) combo.

And have a look here    http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=87775.0.

Search about the clutch as I've listed the parts and prices hundreds of times now

If you're upping the power further budget a grand for your new clutch and flywheel

Sounds like its been bled wrong, i would either go somewhere else and get it done properley or educate them on how to do it properley!!!
As for the clutch, i am not too sure, but would recommend an uprated clutch personally.
