Indeed a sachs SRE kit, organic clutchplate with springs, SMF and a stronger clutchplate

Drove the car for around 1000kms now to be sure the clutch plate is bedded in correctly and i have to say it feels nice, almost like the stock one. Also i dont understand why there are so many discussions about the single mass flywheel, i can barely hear it...? I mean maybe its because i bought...

Started on the clutch today... found the problem.. Dont know how or why this happened, but im glad i at least found something. That means that definetely was the problem.. its strange because the plate the fingers are made out of looks to have rotaded because on some places as you can see...

@stuart yeah its difficult sometimes to understand why one big bolt that has a lot of pressure on it needs less nm then small bolts.. but i guess theres a reason for it haha

Is there anyone that can tell me to what torque spec i should tighten the flywheel bolts? For the original dual mass flywheel it says 60nm + 90°. I contacted sachs and they said they think with the single mass 30nm is best but to be sure i should contact a vag tuner shop. So i thought maybe...

That's what ive been thinking about for the last 2 weeks:yes: But i guess its just something i have to get used to. The clutch kit does have a clutchplate with springs but that probably isn't going to help that much. But tbh i much rather have some rattling then take the gearbox of each year...

Okay so i've ordered the Sachs single mass flywheel kit with clutch, pressure plate and clutch master cylinder. Quite expensive all together but as i want to do it right the first time and am not sure about the state of my current flywheel (could be damaged by the slippage) i went for the SMF as...

okay thanks for the info! I'll let you guys know how it worked out!

@badger5 The tip that mounts to the Turbo housing (last picture) is indeed 3,5 inch it then reduces somewhere in the downpipe to 3 inch. Where it reduces i'll have to check but i think it was also in that part that mounts on the housing (at least seems like it, i don't have the exhaust at home...

seems like a nice setup but.. i don't think a sinterplate is ideal for daily use? Or are you using it for a daily also? and why the original LUK Pressure plate? is that better then to use a reinforced one from Sachs (because of price?) Or is that what you said that sometimes those don't have...

It indeed is a LUK. I replaced it because the car originally came with a LUK. But now a lot of people around me are telling me i should have just put a Sachs in from the start because it's better. Which Sachs Clutch do you guys use then? Because the link i posted is the only Sachs one i could...

That's what kind of bums me out. I never do launches exactly for that reason, changing gears the right way so i dont slip the clutch too much.. i'm a car salesman so i hope i know how to drive stick the right way.. as i drive at least 3 different cars a day..:rapture: (if not i might need to go...

Well it's not as much a problem that it is slipping, i don't mind to change it. I just want to figure out what caused it. Knowing the clutch is only 20.000km old. To be sure it doesn't happen again. But knowing the car will be at 400+ hp soon. Is the best clutch to get the sachs? The one up...

Thanks! i try not to look back at what it's cost me so far.. might start to cry:whistle2:

it's not slipping in 1st and 2nd. And when i put the pedal to the floor in 2nd and then continue to go full throttle in 3th, it doesn't slip in 3th gear either. In the higher gears it slips the same amound in every gear, from around 3300rpn till 4200rpm and then it picks up again like nothing...

Since a couple of weeks my S3 is doing something very weird when the boost kicks in. Feeling like the clutch is slipping (maybe it is idk?) definetly feels like it. I tried explaining it to multiple college's (mechanics) But it's really hard without actually seeing and hearing what happens. So...

Hello, as i'm new here i thought i'll introduce myself a bit. My name is Wessel 21 years old from The Netherlands. I started with a Mk1 cabriolet when i was 16 (it was done when i was 18). Bought it in quite a rough shape, but with zero rust and only 40k km's. Anyway after driving that for a...
