When the warranty runs out I am thinking of APR'ing or Revo'ing my manual MK3 VRS TSI. I understand from Mk7 GTI forums that the stock clutch will not cope for long, so wonder what options are available before I bite the bullet. Do any of the sponsors on this forum offer a Sachs or similar clutch upgrade? Has anyone replaced a MK3 clutch before? The clutch on my stock car is already slipping slightly at 16k miles, so I may up-rate the clutch and Srage 1 at the same time. Hopefully the up-rated clutch will last longer than the stock parts.

Edit: VAG only covers clutches for 6K miles before using the wear & tear card.

I'm fairly sure Sachs offer a clutch upgrade for the 7GTi/vRS as I know some that have had them fitted, although having said that I couldn't find it on their web site.  Might be worth popping them an email to clarify.

 

It is also worth noting that Revo offer a reduced torque map for manual cars to help the clutch and I'm pretty sure APR do too.
