Your right to be cautious though, lots of things on there appear to be real - I bought a flasher unit for my mini only £5 it said genuine Lucas and arrived in a Lucas box however it was clearly a fake product with no stamp and it fell apart! :angry: :laugh:
-
Thats a kik up the backside when that happens.. Had my fair share :angry:
Last thing i want is get clutch and flywheel done then go down the road and ..bang.. Because
Some chinese copy :lipsrsealed:

Sounds good i have sent message the seller asking they genuine :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
One or two others on here have bought the kit, no issues reported thus far :smiley:
-
Lets hope stays that way :grin:
Gonna order mine in 2 weeks :smiley:
Will paste in what seller messages me back too
-
I would never advise this normally as mk3 related lol :grin:
Breaking for spares section, and message people breaking ABF engine coded mk3's, same wheel and should be able to get one for £40ish posted..
-
£188 + postage seems a bargain! :huh:
-
I would not buy a used flywheel or clutch ...I think its a bargain for sachs kit as jim Said.. Comes to major mechanicaly stuff best buy new :wink:
-
A flywheel you can buy in complete confidence 2nd hand, always buy a clutch new though :wink:
-
Just had this done fly wheel and clutch go OEM mate nit g60 you wont gain any benifits from a singal mass only that if clutch goes you won't need to replace fly wheel again. It will mate your clutch noise on ideal and the pedal will feel sh!t just my opinion I had fly wheel and clutch done for 315 fitted with luk parts
-
This is what seller replied :smiley:
...
Good morning, yes, they are 100% genuine and we put a 4 year/ 40,000 mile warranty on them.
Thanks for double checking first.
Regards.
Frank.

Iv heard it only makes pedal light not heard nothing about noise etc :undecided:
-
I've heard they make a noise in a TDI but not in a petrol. When mine goes it'll be the techniclutch kit I'll be going for. The Sachs VR6 clutch should be good for 300ft/lb which is more than I will probably need.

Not a DM though :tongue:

Had mine it for years no noise whatsoever, light pedal I, love it :smiley: TDI it will vibrate at idle.
Some people find it can snatch a bit as the DM flywheel stops this. :smiley:

Very true. :afro:
Had mine lightened aswell before put it on and I also get no rattle..
-
Im getiNg a screech noise when i reverse or rol back slightly is that the flywheel?
Hope it last me atleast two weeks because cars going in bodyshop nxt monday
-
Some people dont like clutch light so each to there own.. Mines remaped so makes sence
To go for upgraded bits.. Going to order the kit now :smiley:
-
The seller has just added 50 quid to the price! :angry:
Edit; top bloke said he will do it for me on price i originally seen :smiley:
-
R-tech saw nearly 300hp on standard dual mass btw.. so not necessarily an upgrade, more of a cheaper replacement that feels different!
-
So the only difference between vr6 clutch and g60 flywheel compared to orginal one fitted to 1.8t.. Is way it feels??
-

I believe so yes, and if a single mass clutch goes, you don't have to replace flywheel again..
However you shouldn't be replacing it very often anyway lol
-
I thOught the g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch can take more power and torque is that not why people get it :undecided:
Yh hopefuly change just the once :grin:
-
I believe that's a common misconception, its why i did it though TBH and then Nick said he was running near 300hp on standard dual mass, and if that went, he would be going for an uprated clutch and another dual mass flywheel!
Take of that what you want lol
-
A new dual mass is horribly expensive though right? :lipsrsealed: It's alright of you can afford one but if a g60 single mass will do the same job for 1/5 of the price I know what I'd choose.
-
yh i think i prefer single too.. Lighter and atleast i know less chance of it going if any :smiley:
Iv ordered sachs kit now too.. For £198.. Just need book it in to get it fitted.. Will
Be nice see what the fuss is about now :grin:
-
You will like it, i had mine lightened aswell before it went on..
-
Im gonna just tel em throw in how it is.. Im only planong keep it till summer then
Its getting sold or striped if fail to sell it again
-
Pretty sure it was 3kg that came off my ABF one..
-
The kit is absolutely ridiculously heavy!
-
The complete dual mass setup and complete vr6 clutch & ABF/G60 combo don't weigh hardly any different when you weigh them :lipsrsealed:
-
Aslong aS it doesnt fook up thats all that maters.. Weight dont bother me car is never going to
See a track :grin:

Had powerflex bushes bud hated them thats why got standard r32 dsg mount then was all fine until last sunday evrything was just fooked and drive is so bumpy and horrible.. I know my flywheel was on last legs as i was getting a judder on idle and when driving which just got more bad by the day
-
right guys there is like a slight oily residue bottom the engine by back dogbone mount.. it has been there for a good while to be fair but looks kinda fresh.. first gear is becoming a c unt to get into on way to work..its a bit stiff rest gears are fine... dont know if this is becuase the flywheel fooked..im going to take to chris on monday get it looked at good and propa before fit g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch.. if the gearbox looks like its fooked too then im going to just strip it as i had enough of the car now spent to much on it and the bodywork is really bad so aint worth fixing...just cancelled with the bodyshop for a respray too :cry: :cry: :cry:
will see what happens monday .. well gutted :sad:
