Remap then :(

[Pure Driving Solutions]

So I decided to get the gti remapped and fitted a VWR intake with stage 2 pipe. The car is a 2012 done 19,500 miles and I was really excited about getting to use the extra power. To my massive disappointment the clutch now slips in 4th, 5th and 6th. Has this happened to anyone else, if so what clutch route have you gone down and how much (if you don't mind me asking) or is it back to standard tomorrow

Uprate or replace the clutch, it's not uncommon for clutches to slip with stage 1 or 2. Who knows how it was treated before you bought the car...

That must have had some abuse!! Mapped plenty of cars with way more mileage and never had a clutch slip so soon after

Indeed, I've only had the car a short time.

Where did you get it mapped?

Stage 2 is a big power increase though, I'd expect some clutch slippage once you start to edge near 300bhp

When I first mapped my GTI my clutch slipped for 3 to 4 weeks (it was on 60k then).
It slowly disappeared (or my driving style changed) and i drove it to 95k before selling it.

My clutch slipped almost immediately after going to stage 2.

Uprated clutch fitted was circa £900 fitted, another £200-300 from memory if your DMF needed changing too.

Gets expensive very quickly but that's the joys of modding....

have to admit this is one reason why going forward I am opting for dsg, people will shout clutch packs but in reality not heard one but plenty of clutches gone

the slug of torque lower down is the killer on these TSI units, K04 car fair better

upgraded clutch is alway a compromise as pedal is heavier

Better off buying a car with the power you want out of the box in reality.
