This is what Toby (lad with S3) has now done after the problems he had with his and AFAIK got Sachs to pay for it and sent the SMF back. Something which I would be looking at doing if I were you, as why should you lose £1k???

I dont no what to think now tbh Ben, im going to have a word with Andy and see what he can sort but like you say why should i be out of pocket, but i just want the car running right as im fed up with p1ssing around...still got the HPFP sat here with the faulty collets as nothing has been sorted about it!!!

It's slightly worrying. Considering how big the tuning scene is for VW's and for how long GTI's have been about, it really does make you wonder.
Msportman:
This is shocking news :sad1:
Having discussed the topic of diffs and clutches with Awesome about my old Ed30 they also mentioned issues with uprated clutches amd the horrific prices of them and the DMF.
The APR clutches are probably an unknown quantity in the UK.
It seems that with over 300lbs going thru the transmission will eventually tell on the OE clutch but I do think the pricing of these items are extortionate.
Are the S3 items bigger than the Edition 30?
I'm sure Awesome are now dealing with Helix which I've used before in motorsport and are very strong.
It is true that many race teams change the DMF on a regular basis...their budgets stretch much further than mine!
Good luck!

my helix is rated at 450 ft/lb .
