It seems almost all ed30 clutches are slipping after remaps at the moment.  Does this issue effect s3's??

I would have thought that the S3's would be worse as they are trying to put the power down through 4 wheels and so the wheels don't spin as much, so there would be more pressure on them. Unless they already have a different/uprated clutch to handle it.?

Its my understanding that the 08 onward S3's have a sachs clutch, not like the 1 VWR are fitting of course, but before that they had a LUK(I think) which was not as strong. This is all forum based knowledge though never seen anything in print :smiley:
