Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Sachs SRE Perforamce Clutch Upgrade Questions

    Hey Guys,
    I'm getting the Sachs SRE Performance Clutch installed in my car soon. Anyone who has done this can you please let me know if you replaced the flywheel or just used your original? It's a massive expense if not needed! I will replace the flywheel and pressure plate bolts with new items and also the throwout bearing/slave cyclinder but want to avoid replaceing the flywheel if possible.

    Would appreciate your input here greatly!

    Cheers

    No warranty is given on a clutch if the flywheel is not machined or replaced.
    Unfortunately dual mass are replacement only.
    Just for your info.

      Yes I know, most unfortunate. I really don't feel like spending $1500 unnecessarily though Will just have to wait and check out the condition of it when its pulled apart I guess

        if your in no rush it's worth checking overseas I'm aware the Aussie dollar is useless these days but still might be able to save $$$

            Wise decision IMO.

            You shopped around to see if you can get cheaper? I'd be surprised if there wasn't something aftermarket around (unless you are set on genuine).

            Cheers

              Hey George, managed to get hold of a good quality non genuine for about $500 cheaper than genuine. My trans guy swears by the quality of them so should be cool and a bit of a saving.

                Usually you can buy LUK branded flywheel for much cheaper than the genuine (which is produced by LUK anyways)
