Fitted Sachs DMF setup to my car on Monday as my clutch was slipping. The clutch that came out was a original Sachs one. On my way to work on Tuesday after doing about 45 miles I had to accelerate abit to get into the fast lane as a wagon pulled out and it slipped like mad. After I'd done about 70 miles in it it was ok and seemed to be fine although I didn't really drive it hard just a few quick blasts to see if it slipped.

I've done 600 miles on it now and it's slipping ever so slightly I've noticed. I'd of thought it would be fully bedded in by now. I will retry bleeding the slave although I don't think it will make a difference as it's got a good pedal and no free play in it to suggest there's a slight bit of air in it. Has anyone else had this when they've put the Sachs setup in? Does it need bedding in some more like 1000 miles?? Don't want to go to the hassle of taking it out as it is ever so slight and I really don't want to go down to my lower torque map, I went for a decent setup in the hope it would be fine like the original one was

Remapped on a standard clutch lies the issue.

You really should have went for the sachs race engineering one

Surely a remap can't kill a clutch in 45 miles? Not unless you drive like an utter nipple 

Loads of people have run maps on stock clutches. I ran one for over a year on my 125,000 mile clutch no issues! 

I'm gunna go for the standard valeo SMF conversion, few people running a good bit of torque through them with no issues should do my PD150 turbo ideally

It was remapped at about 120k and was fine for about 10k and then started to slip so went for the sachs setup as it's a good qaulity kit. It's the same as what I've took out but it's slipping slightly so that's why I'm asking does it need more than 600 miles to bed in. If the original sachs was fine at 120k running that map then surely a new sachs one should be fine?

I have the valeo smf kit in mine. It chutters like mad when torque peaks. Kind of like a slight tractor noise. It drives me crazy!! The bite and everything is superb and it takes the power. But the noise about 1700 to 2000 rpm is annoying.

It takes a few minutes of driving to bed in, not 600 mile.

I have just changed a mk4 golf gti, pd engine remappe to about 170. Fitted the new clutch and flyweel Sachs also, drove perfectly from the first road out of the garage.

I googled it and quite a few people said there's slipped until they'd done about 60 miles. They do need a few mile to bed in like brake pads do.

I'm gunna try driving it hard and keep it on the power even when it slips to see if it sorts itself out. Even though I degreased everything I'm wondering if there is still some grease on part of it so I'm now onto trying to burn it off. If that doesn't work I've not lost anything as I'll probably have to take it out and get it sent back but I'll be majorly ****ed off if I have to take the box out again

I know what you mean, the worst bits taken the box again!

At least you should get warranty on the clutch and flywheel anyway...

Just took it for a blast after fueling up plenty of acceleration through the gears and it didn't slip once. I'm off on a long drive tomorrow to take my lad to thomas land for his birthday so will see if it slips when it's been driving for a hour or so as when it did it on Friday I'd been driving for over a hour. Hopefully all good but if it slips when it's really hot I don't know what to suggest
