Am reading about quite a few more failures now with the sachs uprated clutch and OEM DMF.  Not good.  I guess these are starting to appear now after the owners have had the clutch installed for a few thousand miles.

So I really don't know what to do with mine, I'm still stage 1 at the moment and the clutch is holding up ok.  But....  I want to go 2+ and I want to do more track days and 1/4 mile runs and by the sounds of it the OEM DMF will not be able to cut it.  Which means I would need to go with an SMF and risk my nice classy car sounding like a tractor.  Maybe I just need to sell up now as this just seems to be compromised solution for us at the moment  :sad1:

Who's having issues with a sachs/dmf setup ?

the SMF wasn't level with the clutch, only 2/3 touched  :santa:

This thread also discussed the OEM DMF and sachs clutch and suggests there is not much point to it as eventually the OEM dmf will fail which unfortunately looks like it may be true.

Really worried about DMF failuere reports with Sachs!

I am just 1k miles into new Sachs organic and new OEM LUK DMF.  Early days but will report any probs as I cover higher than average miles as 17K per year.  Car is Ed30 Stage 1 Bluefin on 27K miles and independently verified just over 300BHP.

BTW although orginal clutch was slipping, the old clutch and DMF seem to be in excellent condition according to VW specialsist who changed it and looks OK to me but I have limited knowledge about what I am looking for in terms of wear.

Wondering if its worth selling on the OEM flywheel that I took off if it is in good condition?
