Quaife ATB Diff

Hurdy with your clutch "problem" do you think getting a Quaife diff is really a good idea as it may put more stress on your clutch packs in certain situations.

....I'm sure that Hurdy will take VW Racing's advice - Probably the best advice you could get in the UK given their direct VW connections. They'll look at the whole package of Hurdy's mods.

Hi Neil and welcome to the forum.

I'm making a jump here, but I think you are the chap I spoke to at GTI international regarding launch control aren't you?

My car was the ED30 on the JBS stand.

Good to see you finally made it onto the forum

I'm also going for the Quaife diff through VW racing, so it'll be good to compare

Hi Hurdy, I do remember speaking to you at Bruntingthorpe about the launch control as I use hand controls (motorbike + tree = wheelchair !) I couldnt brake and rev at the same time. Managed a 14.1  1/4 and 5.5 to 60mph by holding brake down with pole, had to grab the steering wheel a bit sharpish though.

How's things, was you clutch slipping? I've had the intercooler and KW suspension fitted since then, feels quicker. Could have used the Quaife diff before a track day at Silverstone in a couple of weeks, meeting two other mkv Gti blokes there, both prepared by VW racing for the VW cup. The 3 of us are in wheelchairs!! It may well end in tears (probably for me).

also made a few pages in Volkswagen Driver in July.

Very nice car indeed  oh and Welcome. Thats the only copy I have of Volkswagon Driver (salesman gave it to me when I bought my ED30)

I do look a lot more like George Clooney in real life.

Yup, greta to see you here

That was a really good time considering the stick trick you had to use

Clutch is okay at the moment. I had the power dialled down and so no slippage at the moment
Hopefully a more permanent solution is in the pipeline soon.

Sounds like a good meet you'll be having, remember to take someone with you for the piccies

The Quaife will be fitted along with uprated clutchplates and so this should alleviate any issues with slip. The Quaife should help with the slip in future as there will be less instances of on/off power through the drivetrain with the traction control cutting in/out.

....Just an update to say that my scheduled Quaife install at VW Racing has had to be rescheduled. I'm totally cool about that and have no problem waiting. As racing is their priority, I always knew it was a possibility.

Will be as soon as they can plan it in again and, of course, I'll post about it.
