clutch slip?
« on: December 24, 2008, 04:32:56 pm »
Just been on the motorway in the ed30 and had it in 6th gear at 50mph on the slip road. Instead of dropping a gear to get up to 70 i just put my foot down. I watched the rev needle jump from 3.5k rpm up to 4.5k as the boost kicked in and then drop to 3k rpm and the needle climbed normally.

What do you guys think?
Car is a 2008 ed30 with only 9400 miles on the clock. Car has never done a full bore standing start and is launched from 2k rpm at santa pod (its only done 7 runs)

Im thinking the icy roads and the car spinning its wheels trying to get the power down must have taken its toll :sad:

if the cluch is slipping it would do it in all gears so i think it would have been crap on the road ie oil  :driver:

Agree with both the above posters tbh.

Sounds like road conditions allowed wheel slip

it does it in 5th and 6th. Tried it a few times on the way home.
Dont really notice it in the other gears. tyres havent got much tread but doubt they would spin up at 50 mph in 6th gear :confused:

going to take it out and run it on stock map now. Car is in for a service on the 30th but dont want vw anywhere near it for longer than it takes to do the oil change. Will probably take it to awesome or ads in preston and get them to look at it. If its a warranty job then i will take it to vw.

Just been out again and the car isnt doing it now  :laugh:
Must have been a long patch of oil or something on the motorway.
Will have a few more runs 2moro to make sure, didnt bother trying it on stock map as it wasnt slipping with the revo on.

clutch slip does normally occur in the higher gears, in the lower gears the wheels will spin taking the load away from the clutch, in the higher gears this isn't an option and with the high level of torque a remapped tfsi can produce the clutch is the weak link. I'm not saying your clutch is slipping Luca without seeing it first hand, I had the same issue on my mk1 S3, only slipping on the motorway in the higher gears and there wasn't much change fro 800quid for the uprated sachs unit I fitted. A few of the lads on AS-N with 8P S3's are having clutch issues because of the grip the quattro gives :smiley:

I shagged an Audi A3 TDI Quattro clutch in 11k miles after a remap and I'd agree with Gaz on the rest.

How much have you done to the car, I would put a lot of money on that clutch slipping.. my S3 did it as soon as it was running reasonable power
