clutch - how much milage are you getting?

[blackbetty]

im on 65000 kms and still have the factory clutch in my 2006 gti, with no sign of it going any time soon.
what kind of milage are the rest of you getting from your factory/aftermarket clutches?
i reckon i must drive it like a grandma

[Ideo]

2001 Audi S3 - 170,000kms, sold. Still on original clutch with good life left in it.
2010 Golf R - 92,000kms, not a sign of wear.

And the clincher. 1995 BMW 318is. 260,000kms. Original clutch.

Golf R OEM clutches seem to be pretty good unless you are launching them all the time with more power. Provided i didnt launch the car my OEM clutch was still find at 250-260awkw. It did however have a hard life. 42,000km
Now running the clutches i sell, southbend DXD-Stage 3 daily. Should be good for 600HP

Old clutch (got a bit hot)

16,765 kms...I kid you not...glad its under warranty!

Box in question: DQ200 7 Speed dry DSG

Can you get their stage 2 endurance clutch/flywheel kits?
I'm expecting mine to expire (especially the DMF) with my next major upgrade...

[VWindahouse]

with my next major upgrade...

I like the sound of this

I didn't change my clutch until 120k and even then it was preventative because I was getting a tune, the stock one didn't go. I believe Troy is Stage 3 on his stock clutch - basically if you do drive like a grandma, your clutch won't go.

[blackbetty]

these are some pretty big kms for stock clutches - thats a good thing!
i'll stick to my grandma gear changes then and i'll not have to change the clutch for 7 yrs

Yep can get them all no problems.

Just got 72000 k's with original clutch etc DMF and driven sedately most of the time.
Does have 133 kw at wheels though...
I already have the ECS Stage 2 kit ready to instal when needed.

Wait what was that grumpy old fart? (re: signature) I don't have an opinion on it >.<



All in good humour

63000km, APR tuned since 1000km, still on original clutch (and no real issues yet). Stg2 tune since 10000km.

Will be going to ECS Stg2 clutch with SMF in Jan/Feb, but only because its going to Stg3 tune (& turbo upgrade) then ....

That was a distinct possibility on Sunday morning, though they would have also nabbed a MkV R32, a Golf R and 2 Octavia vRS wagons

I have a 138,000km out of my standard clutch (Aug 07 model). Have had an APR tune since Dec 08 (19,000km) and semi slicks (13,000km), no sign giving up any time soon!
