If it's the later Sachs one like you say and not the earlier (pre 08) LUK clutches then they aren't to bad. As there are a fair few Stage 2+ (360bhp 350lb/ft) S3's and Cupras running them with no issues as yet. But if it's the earlier LUK ones (which I think stands for LURPAK going on how soft they are) then not very much as has already been mentioned.

Hmmm Ben just been reading this again thats quite interesting to know what youve said!!

I've been told mine was the 08 setup but do you know when it was changed as my car is a 57 plate.

Not entirely sure mate, I just know it was 08 onwards. Someone will fill us in though i'm sure. Gaz?  :wink:

Well my new clutch hasnt been abused so far so it has been run in and looked after, i wont be changing it the now as i have just blagged a £600 clutch out of audi but i just thought i would ask and see if anybody knew exactly what it was rated at, can only see how long it lasts and if it is rated at 350lbsft then i should be ok for a while as i dont really expect to be running that on this clutch. Cheers lads.  :happy2:

if anyone has the part number for the sach clutch, I could always just ask sach themselves what its rated to.
