Slipping Clutch

[Grizzle]

yeh it wasnt the cheapest certainly not the most expensive, means i can stick my stage 2 map back on and get the power down without 1.4 astra's killing me at the lights lmao.

My octavia is on 60k and stage 1 sha-rk map, even before the map it was slipping i think the previous owner rode the clutch and couldnt give a toss about the car.

I ordered this http://www.loba-motorsport.com/shop/audi/a3/8p1-2.0-tdi/190/loba-sachs-vag-2.0-tfsi-/-tdi-stage-2-upgrade-clutch-kit

Currently getting fitted along with some new Bilstein B6's should be ready tomorrow fingers crossed.

I've done quite a bit of research into clutches recently for my stg2+ cupra k1. And I have aslo decided on the sachs/loba kit with smf.

Our Mk6 GTi with Revo stage 2 map was slipping the clutch within 2 weeks of map due to the mammoth torque surge, looking at Helix Organic clutch and keeping standard DMF as car has only done 14k miles.

Very annoying but having done a bit of 'after the event' research it was inevitable it would seem

Mine ran OEM and Stage1 fine no problems at all, Stage1+ map was applied and it started slipping a little bit

Downpipe was fitted (No mapping changes) and it slips alot now

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Helix Stage 1, had it fitted yesterday, stiffer than stock alright but no slipping now!

Glad your pleased with it, the Helix would have been my choice 

[gigolo456]

Tbh pedal is a bit stiffer than wat I thought, but the pick-up when u change gear is awesome, im well chuffed with it!!! :-D

Sounds good news, going to discuss with Alex whilst car is in for service in a couple of weeks to get sorted ready for the spring and some nice dry roads

Hi mate glad you like your new clutch :-)

Did you replace flywheel too?

[gigolo456]

Nope, my stock DMF was apparently fine, who was I to argue, lol!?

[MC71]

How much was the Helix fitted and where did you get done? 

[gigolo456]

Got it done at Statlers in Sheffield, where I get all my work done now, great guys, great work, it was £700 all in! Heh, they even washed the car afterwards lol! 

[MC71]

^^^^ thanks for that! Great price too.

What are the limitations on the stock dmf in terms of torque then? My clutch needs doing so want to know wether to replace it.

Do you mean upgrade the clutch and still use the OEM dmf?
