how much is the vwr clutch? mines been running stock map for the past month so havnt had any slip. put the map back on today and give the car a good run through the gears for most of the day and there was no slip. car has only done 10k so may start experiencing more slip as the car does more miles. nt sure whethep to run mine at pod now lol.

Matt : re-reading your original post
Quote
just once in a while as the revs drop from 4k to about 3k
I dont understand! , normally clutch slip = rev flare not drop. care to eloborate?

Also does the cupra/S3 etc  all run the same clutch as the edition30?
Interesting as std S3 is 258lbft ,and 4wd can be much harder on the clutch.
Tried a search but i was unable to find the manual clutch rating.

Now you have me worried as my torque peaks at 368lb/ft which is nearly 500Nm  :surprised: at the worst point in the range (from a clutch point of view)
great feel in the car but its gonna test my clutch!  arghhhh damn you matt  :grin:

typically as well clutches dont 'recover' once they have started slipping, it normally just gets worse at an exponential rate in my experience. But maybe the newer clutches are different ? dunno

I did'nt want to read this, but curiosity got the better of me.  My Revo maps been fine, and to be honest i haven't heard much of the clutch slip issue on ED30's so I'm gonna carry on modding.   My fingers are now in my ears, my eyes are closed and im going bluh bluh bluh repeatedly to shut out all this clutch slip chat..........

....Yes, but your Ed30 is stock, Phil, so you shouldn't have any clutch or turbo issues.

I don't like this thread.....it brings back bad memories :sad:

Touch wood, the car is still running fine at the moment :happy2:

Sorry to hear about the manual clutch issues cropping up too. It's like I've always said though, with modding you are always chasing the weakest link after power upgrades. :scared:

....And that's exactly why I'm happy to stay at less than 250 bhp (my Revo2 Boost is even turned down to 6) and to mod my car's handling.

It's as Kev at Revo says: Each one of us needs to draw our own line in the sand and not step over it.
