Hi all - first post here. I've already posed this problem over at Briskoda so forgive the cross post, but I didn't get any replies.
My clutch has recently started slipping. 3 year old VRS TFSI, 20k on the clock.
No slip at standard power, tiny blip at stage 1, very noticeable at stage2+. Every time I've noticed it slip, the temp outside has been < 0 degrees.
Found a load of mk5 GTI people with similar age/mileage cars also getting slip - and often on cold days.
Need a warmer day to come around to see if I'm still getting slip.
But, interested to hear if you think this might be relevant or my clutch is just simply on the way out.
Seems a little strange, as at a reputable dyno proven 251bhp I'm comfortably lower on power and torque than an S3 which presumably has the same clutch.
If I bite the bullet and get a replacement, I've read that the later S3's OEM clutch is in fact an uprated SACH clutch and hence a fair chunk cheaper than a genuine performance upgrade, which considering I'm not intending on pushing the power much further, would probably be overkill. Is this a simply bolt on replacement and would I have to replace the DMF?
Any advice/experience/prices welcome :)
