I have noticed recently the biting point of my clutch has got a lot higher over the last few days.

 

I think the clutch could be on the way out. I want to start planning for a replacement, what is the best option?  

A lot of people go for a VR6 clutch and G60 solid flywheel conversion (plus new bolts at the same time).

 

Then the question of which clutch brand to get could be opening a can of worms. I'd probably go for whatever brand is normally fitted to VAG cars as standard (not sure what that is).

 

I wouldn't bother splashing out unless your clutch actually starts slipping or you have other clutch-related issues though. I've had loads of cars where the biting point has been quite high but the clutch has been fine. If you look after it you might be surprised how long it will last.

Valeo single mass flywheel conversion.

The full kit is around £225 from euro car parts.

Ditto g60/vr6 combo I went for awesome gti's stage 1 kit from ecs tuning as it has slightly lighter flywheel

Got this kit myself works very well, since Brexit though the price is on the eye watering side

That's why I went with the darkside kit. Looked at the ECS as that's what I put in my last Octavia but definitely paid a lot less for it a few years ago.

Thanks lads, the G60/VR6 combo sounds like the best choice, better start saving..
