Is the GTI clutch the same as ED30?

Getting paranoid after reading about clutch slip issues on here! :scared:

Gone back to a lower power (270bhp) map to keep the torque down.

Understand I could get slip in 5th & or 6th gear if running the full monty 300BHP map

MAT ED30:
yes its the same

Reading your reports have made me paranoid!

Do you think the 270 map would have a low enough torque figure to help the clutch?

ALso if it did go is it VWR clutch the best/only option?

CHeers

sorry for being a kill joy  :rolleye: there othe clutches out there and sachs make the ones for vwr but sachs also do another one they sell to other  dealers and i think you will be fine in full map mode but just dont drive like you stole it  :driver: i do lots of miles and a few track days so it was going to happen at some point

cossy:
Thanks for that.

I am lucky its a weekend car, but that means its always has its neck rung most of the time over that period

Do sachs offer a replacement clutch thats an upgraded original type?

I believe your running a padle type clutch? how is it, bedded in yet?
