clutch slip?
luca:
just out of interest. how much is an oem clutch fitted compared to a sachs one?
gazbutS3:
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:
Hurdy:
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
