Hello everyone I'm away from a computer for a few days which makes researching slightly difficult but I'd like to know roughly how long will a newly fitted standard clutch and flywheel last on a remapped tdi e.g fabia vrs at 180bhp and around 300 ft torque which had a mixture of both harsh and smooth driving? Ok maybe abit more harsher than average :/ the reason I ask this is because my car is suffering from more and more clutch slip so I'm in need to replace soon... Funds are limited so I'm thinking to just replace with a standard clutch and don't know if that's a sensible option.

Thanks in advance guys

Which map is it?

I've had my car mapped for about 6k now on standard clutch and it's fine. Just have to drive it a bit more carefully such as not booting it below 2,500 ish rpm or just making sure your in the right gears, not labouring the engine then using the torque to pick up speed.

But it may be down to your map as some maps have a torque spike in them which basically means that the torque within the map all of a sudden shoots up rather than increasing gradually hence causing the clutch to slip.

I had mine done @ 101k on clock. Had it remapped and hey presto 500 miles later..

New clutch. I won't depress you and tell you how much it is but it isn't cheap to get done.

I had a standard dual mass and clutch fitted last year and been sweet as a nut since.

Remaps will highlight any weaknesses in your car.

Ran 165bhp/290lbft AmD generic map for about 90k on the original standard clutch and it was all good.

Only reason I uprated was because I went hybrid turbo running much more power

Running 167 & 289 here with standard clutch for over 30k miles....

With a decent remap it should last well over 100,000 miles.

Thanks for your reply mate... The car was actually remapped by its previous owner somewhere up in Scotland... But the map you describe is pretty similar to mine between 1-1700 rpm its pretty flat that all of a sudden it boosts... If I'm honest I do really like it I prefer a gradual pull...

I ran mine on 336lb for ages no trouble but when i went to jabba I did ask them to lower it a tad to 312, still going strong when i sold it

Aye mines just over 320 would like it lowered by 20 though to help the clutch.

Interesting replies to this one.

I had my Octy II done in October, up to 336 ft/lb, and now it's starting to show signs of slipping if I give if full welly :-(

The car's got about 70,000 miles on, but I have certainly been enjoying that thump of power as the tacho hits 2,200.

I'm looking for a heavy duty clutch now, so if anyone has any recommendations, I'd really like to hear about them.
