Is my clutch slipping?

[phem0r]

Is this clutch slip? - 6th gear, about 3k revs, put my foot down and the revs climb to 6k like i am not in gear e.g. pretty rapidly!

This happened three times last night, twice going there and i recreated it out of curiosity on the way home

Would seem like it!

Bit of an obvious question really lol

keep doing that 2km and then check for great smell from the clutch

What you want is a DSG, you don't have clutches then

/troll.

Hah. I will be selling the car within 4 months, can't decide if i should just have a standard OEM clutch put in or leave it, or uprated clutch..

Replace with a standard clutch.

Handbrake on, put it into 2nd... if it doesn't pull off or slips then it's on the way out

[phem0r]

Handbrake on? Won't you just drag the back wheels

It's obviously slipping, that test won't help or prove anything other than waste petrol!

Just take the map off when you sell it. It won't slip on standard power, it's the extra torque from the map that's causing it to slip, not the fact that the clutch is goosed.

Mine slipped for 9 months with a map, had it flashed to stock and all was good in the world

Out of curiosity how much would a stock clutch or an alternative clutch on a remapped Ed30 likely cost? Are there  many alternative options to a stock clutch which offer any benefits if you're running a map?

Thanks D8MOA! If you dont mind me asking, what clutch did you end up going for and was that price inclusive of parts and labour?
