Hi guys. Need some guidance on clutch and flywheel upgrade on my octavia vrs. Its a 2L diesel and recently had dpf removal as was blocked solid and remap. Car is currently running close to 250 bhp with about 330-350ft/lbs torque.

power is shreading current clutch so need to upgrade it and flywheel. Any advice would be great. Cheers

250bhp from a dpf delete + remap is VERY optimistic. You will be lucky to get over 220bhp. I would replace it with a genuine sachs clutch + flywheel. The CR engines dont eat flywheels like the PDs do because the power delivery is alot smoother even after a remap.

Nice bit of info there too man !!

can you get a single mass flywheel on these, with the vr6 clutch?

The g60 solid flywheel + vr6 clutch will only fit 5 speeds and is more suited to big power petrols with less torque. I don't know whats out there for the 6 speed CR 2.0tdi in the way of single mass flywheels but you wont be needing one untill you start hybriding the turbo and upgrading the injectors etc..

Cheers for all info guys. Car was mapped twice and was running over 215 at last remap which had no bearing on power output over the first map due to dpf chocked. Software was left in but since the dpf has been removed that last map is only coming to life now. Dont kno exactly what car is running at minute because hasnt been on rolling road since dpf has come out which the removal has given the car unbelievable gains. I just want to be covered with the right clutch and flywheel setup and only have to do the job once

Hi guys, I found this thread when looking for the same thing... I have a 2.0CR 170 Octavia (2009 pre FL, limited edition) and I 'think' the flywheel or something else in the clutch may be on it's way out. I'm on approx 75,000 miles.

I can feel a judder through the clutch pedal when pressing down and lifting off during gear changes, although it is more noticeable between the lower gears.

 

I might be making it up, but I think it's worse when the engine is cold, although I suppose the engine will obviously be running more smoothly when warmed up so any vibration transmitted though the clutch is going to be more noticeable isn't it?

 

It's worst when pulling away in first, especially doing a hill start when there is a little extra strain. If I keep the handbrake on and let the clutch up gently in first gear i can definitely feel it 'kicking' through the pedal.

 

So have I got a flywheel on it's way out or is this normal for VW TDI engines? I've driven loads of other diesels including Citroen vans, Toyota pick ups and various Fords... and I have never felt anything through the clutch pedal.

 

I'm also semi convinced that I can feel something 'wobbling' when the car is driving. I have checked the tyres for uneven wear and flat spots and the wheels have been balanced.

When it was serviced I asked my mechanic to give all the suspension and steering bushes etc a look over, and in general the car feels very tight and the steering is very precise with no slack.

I have been told that a failing DMF can sometimes be felt as vibration through the car.... any thoughts on this?
