Ok well having had a 1.9 tdi and tuned that I went with a Southbend stg2 clutch,,

So I now have a sportback 170 that's been tuned around 220hp mark I think. I'm suffering clutch slip in forth gear +...

So have people got any experience or advice as the 6 speed clutches are near 1k and that's well alot lol! My mapper said a brand new luk or sachs will be fine at that power and alot cheaper but I don't want to buy it then it slip.....

Advice? Anyone done this?

Thanks Ad

the clutch friction plate was dragging on the pressure plate /flywheel they had a problem with a batch and if you do a internet search your find them . the guys at darkside were brilliant and managed to get a replacment out of them for me but i still had labour costs and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth as far as southbend are concerned
 
The Loba/Sachs Stage 2 clutch for the TDI is rated to 550Nm but will comfortably handle 600Nm. I have sent the Loba dude a meesage as I want to verify that they have them at this time and then I shall PM you a price. This is what you will get.

The LOBA-Sachs sports clutch kit includes


  • Sachs Performance clutch cover
  • Sachs Performance clutch disc organic
  • LOBA Billet lightened & balanced single-mass flywheel made of special chromoly steel (6.7 kg)
  • Clutch cover bolts
  • Torque rating 550 nm / 405 lbft

If you do go for one remember and buy a new set of flywheel bolts as the old ones will be useless as they are stretch bolts as Loba DO NOT supply them in this kit.
 
I'm thinking of getting a new uprated clutch for my a3 tdi quattro, i thought smf sounded like a tractor on a diesel and vibrated loads?
 
Maybe a paddle does I had a organic disc and it was better than the dual mass...

As taken from the Loba website to make you aware of the noise a SMF makes:-

"please take note, when converting from the original dual mass flywheel to a single mass performance alternative, some vibration often termed as "chatter" can be felt at low RPM and also at idle in neutral - this is nothing to be concerned over"
 
Happy with my standard sachs flywheel with a Helix clutch can handle my 233bhp 309 ftlb remap.....

Okay well if the "chatter" isn't that noticeably louder I will go with the smf or will the sachs dual mass, organic disc and sachs uprated clutch cover be able to handle 600Nm because I want to be running around 300bhp in the near future?
 
is there a limit to torque tuning with a DSG box? I've a 2007 2.0tdi SB 170 DSG, 50k miles FASH

Was looking a tdi tuning plug in, seems good value

cheers
