New Clutch Needed

[hardyj]

Hi All,

My clutch is now slipping and can only get worse.

Anyone have any good advice on where I can purchase a replacement?

 

[PhilW]

TTS Roadsport are doing SPEC clutches for cracking prices, see their section for more info.

 

[Triple D]

standard clutches try GSF, FPS, ECP, benchmark distribution to name a few, will all do SACHS clutches.

Dependant on the mileage i would suggest changing the DMF, and the CSC aswell, will be a bit more costly, but could save the cluch from needing to be replaced again due to contamination or the clutch failing due to working with old parts.

what engine code is it? ill get you all the part numbers needed now from works website.

 

[hardyj]

I'm at work and don't know code off top of my head. Could it be AUQ? 2001 (51) plate???

 

[Triple D]

wil get you the part numbers for the AUQ engine code then matey

also as Kit plus CSC available

2nd is clutch plus concentric slave cylinder

dual mass flywheel

SACHS 2294 501 039

seems the flywheel could be an LUK one, as its no longer available.

Wow loads of info... cheers Triple D.

So guess I could just go for the 1st choice of the clutch kit then.

I see AVS Car Parts - www.vwspares.co.uk are doing it for £108.16.

Would this be a good price?

Not sure on the price TBH, i can try to find out tomorrow what our customers get the clutches at and find out a price for you if needbe. I work for sachs, so i get them at cost, so would probably be like £40+vat or something silly

Try GSF, FPS or ECP for a price, they should beable to match or beat them id have thought.

The first clutch was just the Pressure plate and the drive plate. The second one was the whole lot without the dmf, so pressure plate, drive plate and Concentric slave cylinder.
The concentric slave cylinder part number is 3182 997 901 for future reference.

Just checked out the ones you mentioned. IT still looks like vwspares are the cheapest unless you can get a sachs kit for me at similar price?

 

[Triple D]

What price did they quote you? will have a look on monday for you....
what mileage has the car done?

79.5k id advise getting a new DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL & Consentric slave cylinder aswell.

 

[The MoffMeister]

i have mate getting bt to so changed slave, clutch and flywheel, which is suggested esp after them miles

dan seeing how cheap you can get it im wondering about mine now, there are 3 parts in total arent there?

Clutch

Pressure plate

Slave cylinder??

 

[hardyj]

Me confused...

So what exactly do I need???? And how much will it cost me???

 

[The MoffMeister]

well i have gone for the whole lot mate, the flywheel, slave cylinder, clutch and pressure plate but thats because im going bigger turbo, but from what i've been told its best to replace whole lot esp with your mileage as it'll work out cheaper in long run

well near on 700-800 odd but can get cheaper prob

but if your going standard parts it'll be cheaper

 

[Triple D]

dual mass flywheel, rob payed about £290 iirc,
consentric slave cylinder (bearing) £60 ish
clutch kit £108+vat
think thats about it matey.

 

[The MoffMeister]

so not pressure plate as well dan?

 

[Triple D]

pressure plate is in with the clutch kit rob, clutch kit consists of plate and cover, then there is another kit with hydraulic bearing plate and cover aswell.

Hi,

I too am starting to experience clutch slip in my Cupra in 4th 5th and 6th around 3200rpm.
So i guess I may need a new clutch soon.
Car is remapped to near 220bhp (255ft/lb torque i think) 54500 miles.

I just want to get the clutch sorted and am not interested in paying huge money for uprated and fancy clutches.
There seems to be a huge price difference between the SACHS ones mentioned here with vwspares and other ones people are talking about.
I also cant find torque stats on the SACHs ones mentioned here.
Probably going to change it out ourselves.

Can someone please help me out by advising me what is the clutch I should look at getting for what I want and any other advice would be appreciated?
Also I'd like to know what is thought of the SACHs ones mentioned here.
