New clutch and flywheel

[Sanjay]

Hey guys.

I have a Leon FR+ TDi and I had it remapped back in May by a local tuners. After the remap I noticed a little clutch slip, doing 70mph in 6th, put floor to the floor, the revs would pick up loads before drive is given. Same in 3rd and 4th at lower speeds (50 - 60etc)

Anyway, I finally got around to taking the car to a local garage and they said the clutch and flywheel needed changing. I got the job done today (standard Sachs clutch and flywheel kit) and the clutch is now so much lighter and smoother than it used to be.

I've just been out to give it a test drive to make sure everything is ok but I seem to be getting clutch slip in every gear now! It's worse than before!

My question is, do you need to let a new clutch bed in after having it changed like you do when you get new brakes fitted and so is clutch slip like I am getting normal? Do I need to drive around like a granny for 100 miles or so?! If not, any ideas why the slip is worse than before?

Chees guys

i had my clutch replaced 3 weeks ago with a tt quattro item and i can rag the tits out of it without any problems, and could do from driving away from the garage! i would say you have got a problem there fella, did you replace the cylinders? maybe you have a leak on your slave cylinder which is contaminating the clutch, there easily damaged, give it a visual, whack it on the ramps and have a look at the underneath of the housing for any signs of fluid, mine was pissing out to the point that when the box was removed they poured it out ha ha, take it back to where you got the job done and get them to sort it

Yeah they replaced the cylinder as well. Funnily, this morning on my way to work I gave it the beans and no slip whatsoever. I'm hoping it was just a little bit of fluid on the clutch like you said and now its dried out.
