Urgent R32 Help

[TomBrer]

Hey Guys,

Started to notice that my clutch has been slipping a little bit over the last 2 days, but only now I struggle to get up most hills,

what are the chances of finding a suitable replacement before tuesday as I am tracking the car at winton on that day?

any ideas? was hoping to upgrade from the standard mkiv r32 clutch but I know chances of finding one before tuesday is slim

any help appreciated

finding a clutch is one thing. but having it fitted by then would be the biggest challenge!

yer i realised this but its worth trying to save my deposit that i have already paid for the track day, any helpful information grateful

I think you need to accept you've lost your deposit. Even if you secure the parts and find someone, do you really want them to rush and to pay them to rush??

I'm not too familiar with the MK4 R32, but I'd be looking at pulling the engine/transmission out in one go, and splitting it on the floor if it were me doing the job.

Providing no other parts were required, you'd be looking at roughly at least a 4-day turnaround.

4 days?!
I think a workshop in the know normally quotes 6 - 8 hours labour for a job like this.

4 days is VERY excessive.
I had mine (not R32) done in 1 1/2 days including full service.


There is a better chance of finding someone else to take your spot at the track day then getting it all sorted by Tuesday.

Post up on the classified section.

Nice of them to squeeze you in at such short notice! Starting to hear a lot of good things about those guys recently

[TomBrer]

I'm glad you're getting it sorted, mate.

4 days was a worst-case-scenario thing. I have this impression that the R32 would be a bitch of a thing to replace a clutch on, but if they're confident they can do them in much shorter time, then more power to them, I say

Customer service is a must in these uncertain economic times... we should support organizations that display these values, so the right guys come through it all. Regardless of the fact they are running the event, it shows that they have an active interest in supporting their own commercial efforts.
