Ah right. I thought it would only glaze it. If that happens then you can easily burn it off with a bit of harder use. It's only if you cook it that it breaks it but that shouldn't happen in stop start traffic. Reading their website it looks like it should be fine for fast road driving.

Tell me about it :-)

Why not?

Yes. It was run in right. It always had it from when it was fitted. It faded a little after about 500 miles but then came back worse over the following 1000 miles.

I was getting a lot of judder when releasing the clutch from standstill and a really annoying chirping noise. It was just really harsh and juddery I had replaced everything needed along with a new DMF and ran it for 2k miles so I'm swapping it round.

Hi, I've been having issues with a new Sachs clutch and my S3 is currently with GNJ Motorsport having a CG Motorsport stage 2 fitted... I'll let you know how I get on.

Do you get any whistling or a chirping noise when changing in low gears?

I got quite a few jobs done at the same time including brakes and a remap. It was about £1350 including a seal that I needed and the release bearing. I went for the Sachs stage 3 clutch and Loba DMF.

Thanks to Graeme at GNJ for all the help on the phone today. Booked in for a new clutch and DMF next week. Also treating her to a Shark remap, new rear brakes and a short shifter. Looking forward to all the work being complete mid next week. Thanks for all your help and advice everyone!

I live in southport. Close to Liverpool and Manchester.

I've also found this: Audi S3 Sachs Sports Clutch Kit Seat Vw K1 S3 Gti | eBay Is this everything I need apart from the flywheel? Is this anyone in here?

Right... I have now got a quote for a Helix clutch and DMF fitted but can't find anyone local that will supply and fit Loba / Sachs. I would prefer someone to supply and fit everything but I have also got a local ex vag master tech so could be convinced to get everything supplied by someone and...
