Hey all A good friend of mine has given me the his ramair turbo elbow front his Golf R - looking online it should fit but it looks as though the fixings in the bay are different. Has anyone tried this and can advise? Cheers

😂 I am very fluid when it comes to these things.... To be fair I haven't fitted anything i can't swap back pretty easily.

That's weird - I assumed that they slipped when they were battered.

Can we go back to dumping positivity on the post to save me a bag o'sand please @mattft86? 😂 Just tell me everything is going to be okay..... In all seriousness, when the clutch started slipping, whats it like? Is the car undriveable?

That's encouraging to hear. I murdered out my airbox on the weekend and fitting ramair new turbo inlet later so may as well go whole hog and give the remap a go 😂

That's interesting - I'm guessing there was a new clutch in the first 70k?

Fair enough @Tazdaz - Let me know how you get on without? I have 3 months warranty on the car from the dealer so I might leave it until that expires then try the remap alone...

Afternoon all! I've had my VRS 245 for 3 days now and thinking about a remap. Having spoken to Midland VW they have explained the reputation of the stock clutch and suggested they upgrade the clutch and flywheel at the same time taking the cost from £650 (remap only) to £1550. Flat out had not budgeted for that but happy to learn from others experience and consider. The car is a 2019 manual with 39K on the clock. It was fully serviced and in great condition but I purchased from AC so I don't have any knowledge of the previous owner or how the car was driven. Has anyone had a remap on stock and immediately need a new clutch and how long does a clutch roughly to last following? (I do a lot of motorway with work, I drive 'enthusiastically' around town but I don't launch at every opportunity for context) Cheers
