Clutch for Scirocco R manual

Post by majkilipa89 »

Hey guys,

I've just my car remapped ( 340/ 450 ) and I'm looking for a new clutch as the old one slips from time to time:-) Now the car is 51kkm and it's standard.

Do you have any ideas which one to choose? OEM or better one? I found that Sachs has a basic clutch for the R and it's the same as standard one.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Micheal.

The Sachs clutch seems to be option of choice for the 2.0TFSI, Southbend also offer a uprated clutch that is supposed to feel pretty much identical to O.E.

It might also be worth budgeting for a new flywheel while the box is off.

Is it a "must do" to change the flywheel?

Hello there

Can anyone help me out.
I'm looking into getting my scirocco remapped and I've been told to upgrade the clutch on it. Now I've found a sachs upgrade clutch without the flywheel does anyone know if the stock duel mass flywhee will be able to take a stage 2.?
The figures what I'll be looking at is about 290bhp and 337lbft

Thanks
Craig

You should be fine depends on the state of your clutch at the time, order the sasch clutch and when the workshop fits they will advise if you need to change the flywheel to!
All depends what damage has been done to date. Mines running 350hp and slightly more ft lb on standard flywheel.
