Clutch is slipping!

[propellerhead92]

I put the Sachs racing clutch in mine and retained the dual mass flywheel. Awesome set up.

Mine slipped with a stock APR stage 1 tune had 65000kms on it.

Only thing to note though is because i pushed it when it was slipping, i destroyed the factory flywheel and cost me a small penny to replace.

Although the sachs racing clutch feels like the OEM pedal, it can get tempermental in stop/start traffic

Thanks for the reply mate. Yeah i'm driving like a bit of a nanny at the moment to be super cautious and try and avoid that.

When did you order your Sachs and if I can, could you let me know the part number and who you ordered it through? I'm looking at going through Sachs directly as it seems to be the cheapest.

How do you mean temperamental? Does it not want to engage in start/stop traffic?

Also keen for a reply on this ^

Mine is at 122k now and been on stage 2+ since 10k, and only sometimes slip in 4th/5th/6th. I will be replacing the DMF with a new one anyway, but keen to look at other disc and cover options.

Just go for the HS Tuning RSR kit which is basically the clutch out of the Audi TTRS. HS Tuning make a kit to suit the Mk6 GTI, Mk6 R and also the Mk7's. HS Tuning RSR 2.0T Clutch Kit - HSTRSR1

Hey mate I've ordered and received the Sachs SRE clutch kit for my Mk6 R. It's going on the car in two weeks time so I'll let you know how it feels as soon as I've driven the car.

Sweet - Thanks mate! Would you also mind disclosing what you paid for the clutch delivered, and how much it was for installation? Will you be replacing the gearbox bolts, throwout bearing and flywheel?

Hey mate I've sent you a pm.

Thanks a lot mate! Appreciate that!

The clutch was ordered and installed through BWA at seven Hills.

By tempermental i mean when you are in constant stop start traffic, after constantly lifting your foot on and off the clutch, it becomes very direct in its engagement/disengaging which means a small creep forward turns into a launch.

I guess thats the price to pay for having a HD clutch they are never going to be a smooth as an OEM clutch...

Hi folks. My clutch is also slipping after a stage 1 tune. I don't want to spend extra on a single mass flywheel if I don't have to. I am thinking of a SACHs clutch plate and pressure plate. Does anyone know someone in Brissy or Gold Coast who could assess my flywheel and also supply and fit the SACHs clutch? Appreciate any feedback or help. Cheers.

Reviving an old thread here.

Am in this very same situation. In need of a performance clutch for my mk7 Golf R to be used with existing DMF.

Can anyone recommend any places supply? Will have VW do the install.

Cheers

Ok, ancient thread update, but I finally had the SACHS SRE kit fitted last week!

I bought this kit in a group buy in 2014. I was dragging my feet about getting this done, living with the slipping in 3rd under hard acceleration, but last month, my hand was dealt when the clutch pedal went to the floor and I had to push the car off the road (managed to reverse out my driveway and into the middle of the street, then couldn't get any clutch dis-engage to get into gear to drive off)... and noticed a small puddle of fluid on the garage floor, and saw the dripping of clutch/brake fluid from the bell housing. A couple of pumps of the pedal and I had some kind of clutch for the past month (a lot of air in the system) so the leak wasn't a total dump of fluid, but enough that I needed to organise to get the box out ASAP to of course replace the slave, and have the SACHS SRE kit finally fitted.

It was fitted last week by Adam at A1 Autohaus in Ryde, they replaced the slave with a metal slave also (I should have ordered the full Sachs flywheel, SRE, slave back in 2014!). Pressure plate still had machining grooves (like a vinyl record) in it, similarly the flywheel, and the clutch plate had maybe 50% meat still on it, but a few worn spots/hot spots on both flywheel and pressure plate, just more torque than it was designed for really. Adam suggested going the NPC kit, I read a lot of good things about it, but I also read about chattering idle, chattering deceleration, shuddering on acceleration which I just don't think I can cope with so the whole reason for getting just extra torque update with the DMF still.

Pedal feel-
Driving it from the repairers it definitely required more muscle than the pussy stock clutch, but it is so nice to be able to hit the throttle hard and not have the revs go up with no extra speed (Bluefin Stage2 tune with ~205kW at the wheels).
A week later, I am either used to the pedal feel, or it has "loosened up" a bit, it is just fractionally more difficult to press than the stock now. Engagement is excellent, you can feel it grab pretty well even when the foot hasn't fully lifted from the clutch pedal. Haven't stalled it yet, but I imagine it will happen one day if I try to do the idle/low revs take off that I sometimes did previously when not wanting a traffic light drag race.

I had different part numbers in the group buy for the pressure plate than what I generally see for the clutch plate/pressure plate SRE combo pack-
88 1864 999 502 for the organic clutch plate
88 3082 999 787 for the pressure plate

A lot of googling and now SRE pressure plate part number is now 883082.001394. When I do a bit more digging, it seems one part number was for LUK flywheels, and one for SACHs, and it seems the locating dowel diameter is slightly different between the two flywheels and people were having to drill the locating holes in one of the SACHs kits. I had to have a new LUK flywheel (the original flywheel had a bit of play in the pivot bearing/sleeve part) and the pressure plate went on fine. I tried to find what else differed between those 2 pressure plate part numbers, given how long ago this was bought, I just cannot find any detailed technical's on this from SACHs or anywhere.
Actually looking on SACHs site now, there is another combo for MK6 R with different numbers for the pressure plate yet again, not sure what SACHs keep changing with that part?

06F141015C with 001394.999502R (clutch plate 999502, pressure plate 001394)
for
VOLKSWAGEN
022 141 015 R
06F 141 015

and

06K141015J with 001422.999502J (clutch plate 999502, pressure plate 001422)
for
VOLKSWAGEN
06K 141 015 J

I wish I understood all these codes, is a nightmare to try to work out what is what!

Ok,
From here-
We show you how VW and Audi Part numbers Work - Articles - Deutsche Auto Parts
06F - 2.0T FSI
06H - 2.0T TSI
06J – 2.0T TSI
06K - 1.8T and 2.0T (MQB MK7)

Did any MK6 get 06K, weird?

Wow, that is me levels of procrastination. I thought I was bad in getting around to things.
