Clutch upgrade

[Marc87]

One this i will say is dont get an luk vr6 clutch if you intend to tune your car. I could only get an luk at the time so stuck it in and 3-4 months down the line its slipping. Go for a sachs vr6 clutch

Not the first time I've heard that...

Well I've ordered the full kit, Sachs all the way

I can get the full kit for £165.

Just out of interest have you ordered your kit from techniclutch on the bay? Got my eye on the same setup, think thats how much they want too.
Tbh can't believe how cheap it is especially with new flywheel! That's the only bit I'm not sure about, do you think it will be a oe VAG flywheel at that price?!
Only ever heard good things about this setup too, seems the only issues arise from poor installation or failing clutches(LUK normally).

The VR6 clutch is no different to the 16V ABF clutch..BTW.

Yeah that's the one, you can't go wrong for £165, it's Sachs and the seller has a lot of good feedback!

i got the same one from techniclutch on ebay felt loads lighter after but 6 months later it just feels normal but maybe i just got used to it 

i did  have an annoying squeek when setting off in 1st but ive just yesterday i had to have a broken dog bone mount changed and the squeek is gone so im guessing they broke the bolt on the mount when they fitted the clutch and didnt bother to replace it grrr
i havent gained much idle rattle from the conversion either if i hadnt owned it before the conversion i wouldnt know any difference

Really? I know the G60 flywheel is the same a the ABF Flywheel - BUT both clutches are different?

Had both Sachs side by side and measured and there is no difference...Sorry theres two extra rivits on the outer pressure plate.
