Title: 1.8t AGU clutch time, advice needed.
Post by: zynexiatech on 06 April 2012, 19:30: Right it's time for my Mk4 1.8t AGU to have a clutch replacement as its slipping, now I read loads about the G60 Flywheel and Sachs VR6 Kits but really am struggling to source one, Darkside Developments do the kit and it's like £333 delivered, the only other option I can see is from awesome gti and psi tuning who do the ECS stage 1 kit for £330 delivered, can anyone recommend any other options with links as really wasn't planning on spending that much as from reading people have done this conversion for less than £250?

Cheers.

Do you reckon that will be fine for a mapped engine?

Post by: lukeyyyyyyy21 on 08 April 2012, 19:49: i'm going to go with ecs stage 1 kit off awesome for peace of mind. i guess you have to be carefull on ebay with fakes, i'm sure are ok but like i say....with the stage 1 ecs you know 100% its sachs clutch and its also a lightweight sm flywheel to which i like the idea of. 22lbs down to 14.

Post by: zynexiatech on 08 April 2012, 20:26: I think I'm going to try and source a g60 or ABF flywheel 1st from a scrappy and then get the new bolts from VW along with a Sachs VR6 clutch kit should all come to less than £200 in parts I reckon. Then hopefully my mate can fit for cheap.

Post by: golf-sib on 12 April 2012, 18:11: I've got an ECS one the 14lb which is slightly lighter than a ABF, there's a thread on it with be-prime. Brilliant kit also comes with a Sachs clutch. between the stock 21lb dmf is say its not uncomfortable to drive, just more rev happy.

Post by: zynexiatech on 12 April 2012, 18:38: Yeah I love the sound of the ECS kit but the £100 I would save on the price of it getting the g60\Sachs Vr6 combo will easily cover the cost of me getting it fitted :smiley:
Title: Re: 1.8t AGU clutch time, advice needed.
Post by: golf-sib on 12 April 2012, 20:00: I only paid £60 for fitting, so not bad... I highly rate ECS, the options are all there, its understandable if you want to save money, I was in the same boat doing similar jobs.

Post by: Charlieessex on 14 April 2012, 22:53: I did the g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch conversion and it took just over 3 hours in and out , gives the best clutch pedal , that was with ramp + air tools

Post by: zynexiatech on 29 April 2012, 08:54: Cheers for all the info guys, Yesterday I ordered this Sachs vr6 kit with g60 flywheel price for kit was pretty good and the seller seems to have good feedback, hopefully fitted in a few weeks.
