My clutch apears to be on its last legs & I need to get a new one quickly, does anyone know a supplier who does an uprated clutch for the 4x4 or a better one from the Audi/vw range that will fit

I think any 1.8T uprated clutch will fit. You will most likely need a new dual mass flywheel at the same time. Bengie got his setup from IP I believe, I think Stealth also do one and most likely Jabba. I think alot of the IHI guys run a sachs clutch with a VR6 flywheel. Changing the flywheel will also let the engine rev quicker.

Whereabouts in the country are you as that may help with recommendations?

Yep..IP do an uprated clutch with a single mass fly wheel....approx

AMD can supply a Spec one, 465+vat for just the clutch & a 2 week wait

If it is the same as the RS, I had a Sachs one along with a lightened and balanced single mass flywheel.

Aparently a Corrado G60 fits at about

Stuart, all the Octavia 1.8Ts (AGU, AUM, ARX and AUQ) use the same clutch, pressure plate and flywheel according to ETKA.

Ok looks like the G60 conversion, Jabba are doing one on Saturday so I will know it fits & is OK.

The Sachs was

Be sure to let us know what you think of it.

Unfortunately takes more than a day & the jury is still out on that one. Present plan might mean selling the 4x4 mid year so no point throwing another 4500 at it (1000 on transmission)

Yeah I know, I'm also undecided if a big turbo is the way to go.

yep indeedy i have the IP setup on mine, drives like standard but with a stronger bite and a bit more of a kick due to the single mass flywheel, less spongey.

worth it, it all fits easy(according to Mr.Mechanic) and is the same for all 1.8T as said already
