Cupra Clutch decision

[Charliessmith]

Hi everyone
I have a Cupra 290 MK3 2016 running stage 2 and lots of other mods, I put a Sachs performance clutch and flywheel on the car when I went to stage 1 about a year and a half ago, I've been stage 2 for a couple of months now and my clutch has gone whilst driving, as I'm going to need a new one I thought I would come on here to see what peoples thoughts are.
What clutches do people use on there tuned Cupra's and how do they feel?

Cheers everyone

@paddy6789 Would be a good point of reference. I think Helix and RTS are people choice, but there is a higher torque rated RTS Paddle clutch too.

Hi Charles, I sent you a PM ref the Sachs failure? I had the same happen and I am now very happy with the RTS twin friction replacement, thanks for Paddy for the original help

 

[Charliessmith]

I've ordered a RTS twin friction clutch and original slave cylinder so just waiting for it to all turn up.
Thanks guys you never fail in helping everyone out.

Did the Sachs do any damage to the gearbox housing? Also is the Sachs under warranty? Good choice with the RTS

 

[Charliessmith]

It did not damage the gearbox, it was the slave cylinder that failed and leaked brake fluid onto the clutch plate so needs to be replaced. It is not under warranty all though I have only had it on my vehicle for a year and 5 months, so not impressed with Sachs.

Sachs warranty is 24 months , I have a claim ongoing at the moment.

I will give them a call because if I can get a new one sent out I can have a spare clutch.
