Clutch problems

Post by Rusty » Mon Feb 16, 2004 11:31 pm

Hi there folks,
I've had my S3 about 6 months ago which has a 270bhp remap installed. I've just started experiencing the clutch slipping with the uprated program running, but not on standard program. Can any of you recommend what type of clutch would suit.
cheers

QST do a MTM jobbie for about a grand. Std clutch just not up to the torque of a chipped car. There are some guys on here that have first hand experience so will no doubt advise further.

Cheers

Ben

Looks like I'm going to take your advise and go for the MTM clutch but can you tell me what this clutch is like to use? Is it OK for normal everyday driving or is a bit of a fierce bugger?

cheers
