Anyone had issues with clutch wear after a stage 1 flash?

[dArK5HaD0w]

I'm not sure if the older TFSI models may have had a stronger clutch than the later models? Or maybe the newer engines produce more torque than the older ones when flashed? The current model clutches certainly don't seem to handle it

not sure about the clutch packs specifically, but i believe the new mk3 rs (and mk7 gti) use the same DSG DQ250 transmission, which is officially rated at 350nm. the same DQ250 is mapped slightly differently to match the Gen3 EA888 TSI engine, but its essentially the same hardware.

with the stg 2+, the Gen1 EA888 TSI engine, its pushing out approx 465nm, and 278 horses (207 kw) with the same transmission. well, that's the figures apr claims. i haven't done a dyno yet.
in addition, the dsg performance tune i got modifies the torque limiter and increases torque capacity to 450 – 500nm.
with the dsg tune, the clutch shudder is dramatically reduced. It also means a longer life of gearbox and clutch packs, less clutch slip.

The car is manual, clutches fall over on K04 cars all the time. Not so much on the k03.

Yes it would, I was told they go a lot, so many people made them single mass when they died but never heard of anyone having issues in Oz with them.

The biggest expense with the clutch replacement I did on the MKVI was the new DMF, cost a bloody fortune!

Any issues with going to a single mass from a dual mass?

I've been running stage 2 in a mk2 DSG VRS for 3 years without any problems

In rush hour traffic when crawling I don't let it modulate the clutch in 2nd, I put it in manual and select 1st

Been on the track plenty of times

I've mastered the art of accelerating just fast enough to match bogans in commodores (keeps their hopes up) and then destroy them when they change gear.

Pretty happy

My TDI with a single mass has a really interesting mechanical rattle that I've only heard in dedicated track cars... Its not bad; its not particularly intrusive; its just... interesting.
Apart from that, no issues - on mine at least.

That's pretty normal

I replaced the dual mass flywheel in my 350Z
It now makes tractor noises below 1,800rpm under load

I imagine it would be less noticeable in a manual?

I think that's what people refer to as clutch "chatter"?
