Title: Slipping Clutch
Post by: 16vbanger on 01 October 2005, 18:10

right here goes
now on our old 8v gti within a month the new clutch started slipping under load  :angry:

but now we have a 16v that has a recent europarts LUK I think .. clutch and pressure plate well low and behold 1 month on and 3rd gear thrashing it is clutch slip city  :angry:

so my thoughts are worn out flywheel as all the gti flywheels I have checked are blackened and worn
opinions Please since I will be changeing the gearbox and clutch again very very soon and I'd like the clutch to last for a change  :wink:

what uprated clutchs are available for the 88 16v but it can't be a heavy pressure plate as it's my dainty little misses daily driver ..

ouch @ £138  :shocked:
but if it lasts twice as long as the LUK one I guess it's worth twice the price  :laugh:

LUK ones are notoriously sh!t. I had a sachs in my old valver. Def worth the investment.
