vRS TDI Stage 2 needs a new clutch - too many! Help!


Recommended Posts

So, after 163,000km of loyal service, my VW specialist garage (Camden GTI) has told me its time for a new clutch.
(To be fair, clutch is fine, DMF is just starting to chatter but will have a learner driving it so SMF kit time!)

Help!
Don't know what to choose, too many available and don't want to buy the wrong thing.

2012 Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (CEGA/02Q)
Stage 2 tune, planning on hybrid turbo eventually

I do a *lot* of k's, car is 2yr4mo old, 250km in a day is a quiet day icon_smile.gif

So... Suggestions on what and where to buy?
Have been told to get an SMF (single mass flywheel) and all the literature I've found online supports this, while there will be more chatter (I have a 98duro torque arm insert anyway so chatter is terribad anyway) it'll be quicker off the line and the engine will rev more happily.

Main thing is it has to be cheap. Not cheap and nasty cheap, but cheap enough to not break the bank... which is not terribly large.

Search the forum for clutch upgrades or smf. A complete smf + clutch kit will be around £1100 fitted if your using a sachs based replacement. There might be cheaper, but less proven options.
