G60 VR6 Clutch Upgrade.

[Red-thunder]

I say it will rattle like fook 

Do some research first IMO.

i have done alot of research it seems that if you use the g60 flywheel as stock and not lightened it will keep any knocking noises out.. and the combo is said to be 200% better than DMF kit..

anyone have a link to buy the G60 flywheel and vr6 clutch together?

I've just had this done on my 1.8t.
It does make the clutch light but if that is the price to pay for never having to worry about the flywheel again,
LONG LIVE THE LIGHT FEELING CLUTCH PEDAL

yes your car is compatable..

RE: Bora atd engine 1.9tdi
thats great man thanks.. is it the best option to go with i am looking for the most similiar DMF characteristics using a smf without the rattle
does anyone have a link to a full kit with the right size bolts etc
please

Did you get that clutch fitted? i've got a 2003 golf tdi pd100 and am wondering if this is gonna be ok for mine? Its alot to spend if its not gonna work!

Just my experience in this, i have now fitted a lightened G60 flywheel and standard vr6 clutch and i have no rattle.

My flywheel has been lightened by 3kg which is a fair bit. This was done by a friend on a lathe, who just ran a clock on it to make sure it was running true, then turned the back face down.

Im not saying that if you do the same, that yours wont, but i can state mine makes no funny noises whatsoever.

Id say go for it

I was talking about fitting it to a diesel - petrol it is spot on

first of ... thanks ryso for pointin me in the right direction of this thread  right think im gonna need to do this upgrade on my 1.8t , my clutch isnt slipping but the biteing point is right at the top and after goin to a local garage today there sayin it could cost me in access of £800 for a new clutch  to say i nearly had a heart attack is an understatement but im thinkin maybe its just my clutch cable that need's adjusting? well im hopeing it is anyway if not then ill be doing this conversion i guess , any thoughts on the cable being the issue and not the actual clutch?

cheers mick

Anyone on this forum know if this works on the audi a3 1.8T agu aswell? I understand they are the same engine but is the gearbox ect all the same?
My clutch has just started slipping and im really considering this.

Help appreciated.

Just got this setup fitted in my a3, all in all only cost me around £320 and i can say im very pleased with the setup, the clutch pedal feels just right and the car picks up hell of alot quicker!
I do have abit of a squeak when first starting the car and then its on and off when im out driving, will get louder, then next minute its quiet again.. hopefully this is something that will eventually go away?
Also at first the gear stick was slightly harder to get in 1st and 2nd.. i think the clutch may just need wearing in abit, but overall very chuffed
