Choosing a new car...

Rhys,

Hit me up with the clutch combo you went for. I "think" my release bearing is knackered (can't really be sure) so need to get a replacement sometime in the near future.

Rhys,

I presume the Passat runs the same clutch as the MK4    240mm diameter?

I went for the Sachs Organic Clutch friction and pressure plate, an LUK flywheel and then a release bearing from VW

The clutch when I bought it was £460ish; now closer to £600 
Paid £200ish for the flywheel
£40 for the bearing
£200 for fitting

The clutch is good enough for 400lbs ft torque 

Most people tend to stick with the standard clutch; I know Steve_PD has fitted another standard clutch as his lasted approx 80K after being remapped; mine lasted 2K after the Custom Code map

Think the rats is 228mm... Could be a gearbox difference though, 6 speeds tended to have the larger plates on the rats.

Hmmm; all the 6 speed boxes in the Goof's are 240mm diameter; cheesed me off royally as it meant I couldn't fit the VR6 / G60 combo that all the petrol lads do

ah i thought as much, any idea on the figures for the 115 model as well?

500mpg rhyso? it sounds amazing! 

115 remaps to about 150 and 250ish lbs ft torque

Ha; 500 miles from a tank 

Cheers for the info! Will let you know what i go for!

Get the 130 

I'll second that 

110 is an epic motor for tuning but you do need to glue a fair amount of parts on to get to mapped 130 teritory in terms of power/torque.

130 is by far the best value in terms of Power/torque vs ££££

The only other consideration is the car itself - I dare say the Leon will handle a little better than the Bora (depending on individual spec/setup of course) however the build quality is not as good as the Bora.

All things considered I'd be in the Bora me thinks..........

I'll third that 130 PD is a lovely motor
