Clutch slip
Leeds s3:
As prev said my clutch went on my s3 with a map and evoms so probably around the 310-315 bhp mark. using the torque in high gears is what fooks the clutch up eg cruising in 6th and flooring it at quite lowe speeds is a killer. If you work the box more and use the revs that will help with the life of a clutch. Also the ed30/s3 clutches dont like to be ridden for hill starts so use your handbrakes a little more.

Maybe DSG was the way to after all - still got to get uprated clutch packs from HPA though - finances permitting. In the meantime, I'm not going to hammer the car - well I wouldn't hammer it anyway, except on the drag strip TBH. :evilgrin:

or stick with a stock car, after all did the quarter mile faster then some modded GTi's : :wink: evilgrin:.Shame there wasnt a stock Manual there to compare.
Tis your choice , but prepare to spend if you do stick with it.Theres no easy way out, remap, then, comes brakes, intercoolers,suspention, anti lift kits,clutch packs,arb's,lsd's, and even carbon fibre fetishes and god knows what else!!! :signLOL:
That slope will get you eventually :scared:.
