Anyone know torque rating on a standard OEM clutch?

Hi All,

Been an observer for a few weeks, about time I posted something!

Just about to get my superchips for 2005 mk5 TDI 140ps/336nm.. rates it up to 185bhp, 397nm torque.

Can the standard clutch handle 397nm of torque? seems like an awful lot!

not many diesel drivers on here, but i know of alot of diesel drivers on briskoda in the octaviaII section, with remapped 140s and 170 TDIs

so you dont think there is an issue? ive read rumours that the clutch can only take about 350nm - the same as the R32 puts out (stock).

have a look on briskoda mate, no doubt the clutch on yours will be different to the rest of the petrol range, as the diesels run more torque anyway
