Stage 1 ED30 clutch?

[MichaelR]

I've read a fair bit about some people going for standard and some people going for a performance clutch.

Mine has started slipping just recently at higher speeds, I'm not going any further than stage 1 or modifying further so there will be no more powere output than what there is now.

She's currently sitting at 295bhp /315 ft lb. , what's the standard oem clutch rated to?
Obviously the difference in price is quite a bit and I'd like to do it as cheap as possible so if I can get away with an oem clutch I'd like to do that.

Also, where to go for fitting around the Northamptonshire area, maybe as far as AKS?

Cheers

Just stick a helix in for peace of mind. I would if had a stage 1 ed30. Cheapest place for them and cylinder is awesome GTI a, eurocarparts for flywheel and bolts. Any reputable local garage can fit a clutch.

Alex @ AKS can do you a good deal. Definetly worth it with you living so close.

Stock clutch will slip eventually at stage 1. I replaced mine prior to a remap as I knew it would slip

Booked in on the 12th of May at AKS for a helix clutch.

Until then my work have kindly lent me one of the spare company cars we have.

  you can still drive the car with the clutch slipping, just drive it a little gentler. . .

That said, my mate has had a slipping clutch on his mk4 TDI for 5 years

To be fair over the next couple of months im covering a fair few work miles, the eco-mobile will be better for it so im going to lap it up while i can.

Golf is due an MOT, i take it itll pass with the slipping?
