S3 clutch, any other car share it?

[dg-1984]

Hi all, I am needing to get a new clutch so been reading the Luk dmf with Sachs organic clutch is the way to go. Upto stage 2, 2+ at most.
What else should I replace while doing the work? Release bearing, cylinders?
Where is the best place for a full kit?
And what other cars share the same clutch if any? Sometimes cheaper under a different name for a different car.

You might want to look at the Helix range as an alternative.

Have a chat to AKS tuning as they can supply and fit.

When I enquiried with them about having this clutch including fitted it was £200 less than having the Sachs fitted at Awesome

How much power torque you running?
What is the pedal feel like compared to standard?
Did you have to bed in the clutch etc?

Hi. Im running a custom r tech map.. about 370 bhp and 393ld (532nm) torque and the luk dmf with helix clutch from alex at Aks seems to cope ok. I did take it easy for a few hundred miles... its heavier than stock.. but not something to worry about unless your stuck in a big traffic jam.. then my calf might ache a bit.. i do have girls legs though... lol

Thanks, what's the helix like under foot? Want something close to original if possible not too stiff.
