Hi guys. Just a quick one. The clutch is coming up for replacement and I was wondering if it's worth going with the cheaper option and getting a smf? What will the difference be?
-
If its a GTI go single
Diesel stick with dual mass
-
Yeh it's a aum 1.8t. Will I notice any difference or not with the single mass? I don't mind spending a little extra on the dmf if it's going to make it drive nicer
-
Should feel a little more responsive.
-
Go for the g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch if yours is 5 speed :wink:

:afro: mines already had both fitted and the pedal is nice and light and more responsive imo than the oem dual mass fitment :cool:
-
ive got the g60/vr6 combo on my aum miles better than oem
-
Cheers for the help! I may go with the g60/vr6 conversion then! Is that gonna be a straight swap for the oem parts or does anything need to be modified? And how much do you think it will cost me for the bits?
-
Straight fit and cost me about 150 for the clutch and flywheel and then 120ish for fitting. That was about 3 years back :grin:
-
Nice one. I thought I'd have a look at other post about it and found a kit on eBay for 199 and that's SACHS branded as well so I'll go with that I think. I like to hear nothing but good feedback about this conversion as well!
-
careful with ebay, rather go with amesome GTI or a known seller. ebay is full of crooks!
-
I'll have a look there as well! These guys got the exact order that I was looking at and had no problems otherwise I wouldn't bother with eBay

thats cool but if its with techniclutch for example then there have been issues with other members as well as other people who have bought from them, i'd suggest looking at independant reviews on google, type the guys name or company name with 'review' at the end and should give you an idea

Funnily enough I have been in touch with a local vw performance specialist and he mentioned that he has tried to fit two techniclutch flywheels and they both havnt fitted! He is going to get me a price for supply and fit with all the bolts needed ect and that will give me a rough idea. Also I've had a couple of price's for the clutch kit from the local auto factors. Just to clarify it's the 3 part vr6 clutch kit?
Cheers for the advice! :smiley:
-
It's solid mass so only 2 parts I thought? Looking at about 260 for a good buy from a reputable company and that's Sachs or just get those items from vw and I think they're cheaper then
-
Sorry I'm not sure if I was clear. They call it a 3 part clutch kit not including the g60 flywheel. I'm guessing they are calling the two plates and bearings the 3 different parts

i may be wrong but i think the orginal clutch comes in 3 parts where as the upgraded and cheaper 'in the long run' option is the single mass VR6 and G60 clutch upgrade which are also good for running higher power
i'll be getting the single/solid mass as seems to be a better option unless i go crazy and get a sports clutch good for upto 400BHP which lets face it, is silly :laugh:

yeah just looked thru the reciepts i have read up one or two things about techniclutchs clutches and some of the write ups are less than favourable :undecided: been told in a reply to my post that it could be a fault with the plates springs,so time will tell i guess lisa
