Have seen a few contradictory threads on this on vwwatercooled and vwvortex so i thought i'd pose the question here, again. Can anyone confirm that the Audi TTRS Clutch can be used as a replacement in a 132TSI 6Speed Manual Tiguan without ANY modification? I have a Stage 1 Tiggy and I think it'd be appropriate to change the clutch to something more heavy duty if possible since I need to replace the clutch anyway.

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,

OEM Tiguan Clutch Replacement

Clutch generally has more to do with the flywheel/engine fitted than the gearbox itself. Chances of a TTRS one fitting are slim to none?Volks Handy

The TTRS clutch is sold by HS Tuning in USA and fits the Mk6 R, Mk5 GTI and Mk6 GTI - although it does not mention the Tiguan. Might be best to shoot them an email or give them a call to ask.

For a stock or even a stage 1/stage 2 Tiguan i would suggest the heavy duty version of the OEM Sachs clutch would do just fine. https://www.sachsperformance.com/en/...-4motion-132kwLast edited by Lucas_R; 18-04-2017, 10:26 AM.

Have just fitted Racechip pro 2 to Tiguan 132 TSI 6 speed manual. Very good power increase...........too good because the power completely overcomes the clutch at about 3000rpm in the higher gears.
I'm thinking that perhaps I'd better unplug it or serious damage will occur, or fit a stronger clutch. I'll be glad to hear of a suitable solution because i really like the extra grunt. That SACHS clutch looks ok, but I wonder how many hours for fitting.

Had Sachs performance clutch and actuator fitted......Full power, not even thinking about slipping.
Pedal is quite a bit heavier and uptake crisper as I expected. No noises and I'm happy with overall result.
Tiggy is now a real wolf in sheep's clothing.

I ordered the clutch and actuator from Sachs in Germany and that was about $1200au at the time. The guy that fitted it was a wizard because it was not easy, and he only charged me $800 I think. The good part is that the performance clutch is coping easily and the pedal pressure is a little lighter than it was initially. I have only done 10,000kms with the Racechip, it still performs well and has not pooped itself.
My advice is to find a really good VW person that knows what they are doing to be sure of a good job.--------Good luck !
