Best clutch to buy with a lightened flywheel and where from.
Having my new flywheel fitted next month and i am going to need a new clutch ant good recommendations
for a company who can supply one and a good make of clutch please.
Thanks in advance.
-
Only two would consider would be Sachs or Luk. When I had my lightened flywheel done I had a Sachs clutch fitted
-
what company did you purchase the sachs one from and what prices am i looking at.

IIRC carparts4less was considerably cheaper than that when i last checked.

Seems they are out of stock i was on a budget that day i came up. As i am moving away i wont have any use of ramps any more so all the harder work is being done next month.
Looks like a eBay job for a clutch.
Only around £10 more expensive.
-
Also worth comparing VR6 kits with the 16v / TDI kits as sometimes they actually come up cheaper for some odd reason.
-
yeh was reading about compatibility on here so they are the same as diesels as well.

So this is what i need.
at £50 cheaper :evil:
-
Yes mate, hence i kept hold of my 16v kit as a spare for my TDI wagon but decided if the clutch goes il get an upgrade instead as the engine power is going up anyway and the torque on these when tuned is renowned for killing clutches.
-
oh ok cant believe price difference i would of always though GTI would be cheaper than VR6 but im not complaining so this is a straight fit no modifications.
-
Suprised Boney has not got a sniff of this and offered you a deal, maybe you should ask the sponser man
-
Give me a shout if you need a flywheel lightening :evil:

Sorry for not replying but I have being at my unit that dosen't have internet as yet! (bt do things in there on time). I say sachs - luk or borg and beck are all similar clutches.
I do the later 8v borg and beck kit for £82 and the 16v kit is £88 (I can't sell clutches any cheaper, then again I believe I am a it cheaper for mine than ecp and gsf?). If you need other items I'm sure I can come to some deal.

I pick up my sachs clutch with a discount code for £87.99 (VR6 TO FIT GTI 16V) Next day delivery.
in a bit of a rush misses keeps changing moving date :rolleyes:
looks like a next week jobby.

VR6 clutch should be number 3000 384 001 and 16v 94+ is 3000 332 001 (both are 228mm clutch kits, I can buy sachs from Germany but they are e180 over there! I still don't understand why German brands are so much more expensive in the home country (I sell febi back to Germany as I'm much cheaper than a local seller!))

-
so this will fit ok on my GTI 16v :rolleyes:
-
Did you add the extra 5% discount code?
-
yeh i used promotion code when you do a survey didn't do survey lol found it online.

what sort of power can you get them up to mate? how much you planning on going to?

Well like anything engine it depends on how much you want to throw at but with the few bits and pieces ive accumulated im hoping for a jump from the stock 90bhp to roughly 140ish bhp and more torque than a standard VR6.
Start pushing any more fuel through the tiny standard turbo and it'll be smoking more than dungeness power station.
I'll see how that goes first then decide on whether I stick a larger VNT turbo on there or go straight for a PD130 conversion...funds permitting then you're talking over 300bhp with the right map and mods. :evil:

Whats fuel consumption like? I might be changing career soon and will loose the free diesel card :cry: so been looking at diesels lately but not sure what to get. But if I can have a 300bhp that returns good bhp then I now what I want :evil:

Im getting about 520 ish miles to a tank at the moment but it desperately needs servicing and the thermostat changed. Once that's done and the chips are fitted im expecting at least 600.
Over on tdiclub website there are people boasting 8-900 mile range on certain biodiesels!!! :shocked:
I reckon even running big usable power on derv you can still get over 40mpg which aint to be frowned upon.
-
that a fair gain! sounds like a fun adventure man
