I can supply you a Helix organic clutch which will handle stage 2 with ease. Price is £470 plus £305 for dual mass flywheel if you are replacing that too.

You can use with your standard DMF but its common practice to renew that at the same time if you have a bit mileage on it.

61k is a bit on the mileage id be wanting to change it, but its entirely up to you.

I can supply OE flywheel to go with Helix kit for £305 delivered.

Remember Helix make clutches to order and they are hand made, so order it with a few weeks to spare.

Helix is much better than the Sachs, thats pretty common knowledge if you search forums. Helix are great clutches!

It has a higher clamping spring which is part of the upgrade, to stop clutch slip at higher power/ torque outputs. That gives you a slightly harder pedal, but not drastic.

As i say, DMF is entirely upto you..

Wot would i get with the clutch? Would i get the clutch and the plates? I would need the release bearing as from cold it does make a grinding noise which i have read up to be a common fault do you have these aswell?

Okay i will have a price round and get back to you would £470 be the best you could do it for?

No problem. £470 delivered is including a discount from RRP so i doubt you will get cheaper.

You will struggle to get quotes as Helix havent yet listed mk6 GTI on their catalogue so most suppliers wont be able to supply or price it.

The Mk6 one Awesome GTI have listed is for a "R" and wont fit a GTI, they have different engines.

No problem just give me a shout.
