Clutch kit Sachs or VALEO

Ive been reading good thing about sachs..??

I have been experiencing the usual clutch slippage that many of the Golf R's with Stage 2+ have been experiencing....and after much debate and searching I decided to go with a Sachs SRE Performance Clutch kit. Today was the install...and the single mass flywheel kit (883089.000034 - http://www.sachsperformance.com/Sac...I-169-kW-;-BYD-;-09/2006/SRE-Performance-Clutch-Kit-One-Mass-Flywheel::155.html ) bolted right up with no issues. The clutch is stiffer then stock....it's hard to put a % on it...but it's stiffer then stock. It's not too stiff though - I've had two knee surgeries on my left knee and I didn't have any issues with it driving around. I haven't heard any of the \"clatter\" that has been associated with the single mass flywheel. I do have a slight groan when accelerating heavily at low rpms.....and it is a little louder then stock when I let off the gas and coast...but nothing that is going to bother me. The clutch release is a little higher then stock. The new setup is more \"spot on\" when being engaged....and you can really feel it grab. Overall I don't think my wife will notice the change....and I am happy with the results.

:sly::facepalm:

I have an 03 AWP GTI 1.8t. My clutch was dying on me recently and I did some research. I went with Sachs VR6 Single-mass lightweight 14lbs flywheel clutch kit. The clutch feels a bit different for sure, in my opinion. This is just what I have experienced and may not be the same across the board. On the highway in 5th gear, when I hit around 3k RPM's, I get a drone while accelerating and sometimes while coasting. It's sort of a low, pulsing sound. It goes away as soon as I disengage the clutch and coast though. Also, at first, the clutch was super \"grabby.\" Like... more sensitive than my stock clutch. I've finally gotten used to it (2 months later).

i have the parts you need to replace

i just put my valeo clutch kit in, i got it from GAP about a month ago, itworks PERFECT, came with disc, pressure plate, TO bearing & alignment tool & some lube, i got the kit for $170 valeo & sachs are equal in quality, i would deffinitly buy another 1, it works excellent :thumbup:

i'm gonna order this stuff from ECS this week

I have the stage 1 F1 kit on my VR6 and also my 8v (G60 trans using this VR6 kit), it is a genuine Sachs pressure plate and TOB, only the disc is Japanese. The disc is made by ASCO, which is Aisin the same people who made several transmissions for VW/Audi. You are not getting junk by any means, the products are OEM brands.

SACHS Power Clutch Kit

Well I am just @ the 400 mark and with the six speed I kinda bargained out and just picked up a Valeo single mass conversion kit....I had no clue how long it would last but knock on wood it's been in for a year. I have noticed lately it's starting to do some strange things like not release every time....makes for an interesting drive when this happens.
