Sachs standard clutch and flywheel kit---- max torque?

[Ergun84]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question... Does anybody know what the max torque that a standard sachs clutch and flywheel will be able to handle?
After remap and dpf delete my A3 2.0 tdi 170 had around 350 lb of torque and 215 bhp and I think it may have killed the cars existing clutch. So I just bought a standard sachs kit for £450 on ebay and was wondering if it would be worth it to keep the map on the car after they are replaced.

Unfortunately can't afford to go for any sport or uprated kit at the moment.

Thanks.

So a sachs standard clutch + flywheel can handle 400 ft lb ish mines also starting to slip in 2nd to third

btw thats a nice power increase from dpf delete and map

if its apart then its worth changing the flywheel. It will save you in labour costs!

stock clutch will take some abuse; a lot of it is down to how the power is delivered and how heavy your right foot is!

I've covered 37,000 mapped miles (cars has done 68K) on the stock setup running approx 205bhp and 320lbs ft torque. A mate I know covered over 80K in his mapped MK4 150 PD!!

Will leave it till it gets worse and have whole lot done flywheel and clutch

If your clutch has been replaced with a standard Sachs set up it may not be able to cope with the extra torque. The uprated Sachs set up has stronger springs in the pressure plate so you will feel it harder to push down. Does it feel uprated or standard?
Also, the clutch needs running in before giving it the max to prevent it slipping until all the friction plate is in contact with the flywheel and pressure plate.

Hello, I do have an uprated sachs clutch, but before I had a standard sachs clutch which actually took the power until the slipping happened, and not the clutch pedel is soft also I gave it a boot last night and I didn't slip once so idk what going on
