every 12months change  :laugh: mines been in for over 30k now its awesome vwr clutch

yes, I considered an upgrade but I like the oem feel and was told I was most likely unlucky? In theory I should have swapped the car 2.5 years ago, I've never kept one more than 19 months and I've had it 4 years Now lol. Shows how hard these cars are to beat. I should change it but there is nothing I want to replace it with !! If the clutch starts slipping I'll probably buy a 3 series coupe with a diesel

Just had a thought, surely a stage 1 mk5 gti wilth 240-250bhp is just the same as a leon cupra? Therefore a stage 1 map should be ok or am I just being nieve?

It's more the torque that is the issue and stage one gti's deliver more torque, lower down in the rev range than the bigger k04 brothers.  Mine delivers 308 lb at 2000rpm and it's this low down torque that destroys the clutches

sorry if this seems daft but just joined the forum last night and tonight my clutch has gone!  :sad1: well i think its well on its way. I started the car this evening after work and would not go into any gear, turned it off and it went in. i ended up jumping it off and then i could get gears after this. however it hasn't felt the same since.
sorry for jacking the thread by the way, just thought i'd see if anyboy could recommend a decent clutch that aint gunna go after a stage1 remap that I'm thinking of doing, and rough cost of parts. i never realised clutches were an issue, i knew a dsg box was a better idea :(
can any body help?!

cheers Stu, one of the resident newbies.
