Clutch slipping... Helix still the one to get?
Tfsi_Mike:
^^ There you go!
I'm mainly concerned about the clutch pipe popping off at the bulk head. I guess it must just be the SMF kits where that happens.

Hi Got my Ed 30 booked in with Alex on the 16th April for replacement Helix clutch and new gearbox oil really hoping its not that much heavier than standard once bedded in

If you're going from a standard clutch that's past half worn (where the pressure plate springs move a lot more than when new) then it's not that much heavier. Compared to a brand new OEM clutch, it's a LOT heavier. If you end up being sat in traffic for more than 20 mins, you will definitely wish you had DSG :smiley:
Bite on the Helix is more abrupt than standard too, but you soon get used to it.
Don't get me wrong, it's far from unusable as a daily. My girlfriend has driven it, for 10 mins or so, and didn't even comment on the clutch weight, just said it was 'grabby' :smiley:

Hi Pudding thanks for the reply so basically that means as Helix ages it will get heavier?
