Cheap Sachs Clutch Kit on eBay

[Coupegrale]

On the hunt for a new clutch kit, I stumbled across a Sachs clutch kit with dual mass flywheel for the bargain price of £309.99.

Going on past experiences with the seller Techniclutch, I am wondering if it is too good to be true?! Has anyone bought the clutch in question? If you type Cupra R Sachs into eBay, it should come up.

a quick google of techniclutch looks grim.

this is quite a recent thread on them: LINK

personally: avoid.

Darkside developments bud, they do them for around the £300 mark for a smf conversion or the dmf one.

Anyone on here done a single mass conv?
I'm intrested to see what they're like, and any prob's since. as generally fitting a single mass doesn't preent the vibrations from damaging the crank d/shafts etc. suppose it wouldn't be a prob so much in a petrol but I'd be wary with a densil!

sachs are good clutches and some luk clutch kits have sachs in them (plates).
best advice is don't scimp on a clutch and be wary of re-pro's in luk boxes. (usually a white box with an luk sticker on it)

The only thing I've ever heard of is a bit of rattle at idle and that's on tdi cars but a heavier flywheel helps with that.

There's no SMF kit on there for an LCR.

Sorry my bad, I keep forgeting he's mainly a tdi guy, I'll give him a shout though and just double check because I think they share some of the clutches. I mean the VR6 and G60 flywheel are originally from a petrol but are used on the tdi a lot. Anyway I'll see what he says or you could check the part numbers if possible.

Here's the one for the LCR

They're not cheap though

if he is stock, why not go for OEM stock clutch and flywheel, he dos not say anything about performance uprated or tuning in #0.

you can get stock dual mass flywheel and clutch kit cheap from euro car parts. (use promocode: CLUTCH15)

 

[ben-chelt]

yeah i have one of those sachs clutch cost me over £1k

Jabbasport also do a lightened and balanced SMF with Sachs clutch for slightly less. I've just had my clutch replaced but decided to stay with the DMF/LUK clutch and fit a Quaife diff instead. I would highly recommend that if anyone is replacing there clutch to have an LSD fitted. Having the diff done at the same time as the clutch means you pay little if any extra in labour. The differance in grip is amazing.

im just in the middle of replacing mine for a smf valeo, all in cost of £245 from local garage will give you feed back after a drive

 

[BUBBA808]

finished the job and took it for a drive...wow! so much more responsive and the clutch pedal is lighter too!

 

[Dan1720v]

I can supply you, a LUK clutch, fly and Slave cylinder for £350.

What is best to fit to a stage 1 LCR? Own is a dual mass flywheel - can we just not upgrade that and keep it as a dmf? Or is going to a singleass flywheel really the best option? Both price and performance please....

Going to add another query here. Is there a cost-effective up-rated clutch for my Leon FR TDI?

Standard clutch is slipping now the car's been consveratively remapped to 300lbft torque, despite several mapping companies claiming the standard clutch is OK at that level. I can't stomach the cost of a Sachs SRE replacement at around £600 in parts alone, when labour will add £300-odd to that...

Has anyone tried Black Diamond Stage1/2 clutches on a diesel??

JFYI the 150bhp diesel clutch is an upgrade over the stock LCR clutch!
