Cupra 280 competition clutch?

[JamieLittwin]

Anyone know anywhere which will fit an uprated clutch for the Cupra 280? Looked for hours but always fail to find anything

 

[Nobziller]

I did find one! But can't remember the company! I'm trying to find it

That one I think fts

That's a DX/Southbend kit, I bet Helix and Sachs have got kits as well.


What's the reasoning behind wanting a new clutch?

 

[Nobziller]

I haven't found one off them yet, been messaging loads for one, as mines started slipping

 

[AndrewJB]

Obviously abusing the clutch? Even Stage1 shouldn't kill it unless its abused.

 

[Nobziller]

Done the odd burnout, but I had a release bearing fault in which it would only release halfway riding the clutch till I double clutch kicked it in, it's gone back to seat, but apparently they couldn't find an issue with it.

 

[AndrewJB]

Ah yeh that would explain it.

You don't need to burnout on street tyres Nobziller, that actually makes them worse.

I know I was being a yobo lol not trying to warm them up haha

Dragging up the past but I'm still looking, and clutch was slipping when I bought the car about 8 months ago. As it's been winter I haven't driven it very hard but I had a blast the other day and when changing at red line in 2nd/3rd/4th etc it just doesn't want to engage properly. SEAT can't find a fault...

I had exactly the same fault with mine, after taking the car to seat 3 times they eventually took the box out and said the springs in the clutch plate had become weak and replaced the clutch and flywheel under warranty. They did have to contact Germany for advice though.

Seems autos can take much more of a beating today compared to manuals. Same with brands outside VAG, BMW had all sorts of issues with clutches failing even on stock power on the M3/4. A reason that I will be going with the DSG even if that means less "driver involvement", one less thing to worry about stage 2.

Does anyone have any sort of idea how much power/torque the dsg box can take reliably? Really want to just go stage 1 but too scared in case the clutch can't take it.

Think the theoretical torque limit for the DSG6 DQ250 is 400 Nm but if the smaller DQ200 7speed is anything to go by (lots if 1.4 TSIs running 300-350Nm for years), the DSG6 will probably be fine up to 500Nm or more.

Stage 1 is definitely not something to worry from what I read.
