My VRS PD170 estate has covered 80k and the clutch is now beginning to slip under acceleration. The car was remapped and the DPF removed at about 70k. not sure of the torque figure but I was told the car is now about 210bhp which seems about right reading what others claim following similar work.

So It's looking like I need to replace the clutch and DMF in the near future. Has anyone been down this road with a remapped PD170? I'd like recommendations for an uprated clutch as I guess fitting another standard clutch would probably be false economy as I'll be keeping the car for a while. From what I've read so far a single mass conversion is not the way to go with this engine.

Any opinions or advice appreciated.

Speak to Darkside, they have plenty of choice and knowledge so can talk you through some options.

Thanks for the replies and links. Looks like a telephone call to darkside is in order..........
