Hello everyone,

I'm in a bit of a pickle with my 2015 Seat Leon Cupra 280, which I've recently remapped to push out 350bhp. Unfortunately, I'm facing issues with the clutch slipping in 6th gear.

To solve this, I ordered a Sachs Performance clutch plate (Model: 881861 999878). However, my mechanic just informed me that this clutch plate doesn't fit my car.

I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for recommendations. Can anyone suggest the correct clutch kit for my setup? Any advice or pointers towards a clutch that can handle the increased power would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
