with Oettinger 300-plus hp remap one starts to wonder if clutch will pack up   :undecided:

If someone finds out the answer - let us know!

They may all share the same diameter clutch - but I strongly suspect the S3 will have an uprated pressure plate!  :nerd:

this is similar to the S3 ED 30 Engine questions. I'm sure someone on here has already discussed this, and even shown the part numbers to be the same on both vehicles for certain parts - I believe the search facility is useful!  :rolleyes:

Oh, I agree about the search function - it pi$$es me off too, when peeps don't use it.

However, there is duff info on the specs of the engine internals when comparing the Ed30 and the S3 lumps.  Maybe someone isn't using an up to date EKTA, or even a non-dealer EKTA (similar to what places like GSF/ECP use) - as I have found differences between them!  :smug:
