Remap done at 70k.... Now approaching 78K a year later with no problems  :smiley:

I don't think you will find a definate answer tbh... it depends on the driver and how its driven.

thanks for the input guys, making me feel alot more confident about it now :)

i do agree though that alot of it depends on the driver.

I got mine mapped at 121000, now done 125000 and still original clutch. The biting point hasn't even changed. I reckon it'll take a spec 2 map too as long as you don't engine brake and pull away in 1st like a tool or a granny it should be all good..... Although now I've said that the cars probably thinkin about stitchin me like a kipper and riding..... :laugh:

Mine was remapped at 65k and I sold it at 73k and it's still local and on it's original clutch. A clutch will last depending on how you treat it!

to be fair the Golf has lived on the island since it was a month old so that wouldn't have done the clutch any favours :wink:
