I'm not a happy chappy at the min. Saved up for a stage 1 (shark) for my tfsi had it done last week, day later new Dv valve needed. So did that. All well. Then day after that, miss fire cylinder 3,new ignition coil and jobs a good un. Took it for a drive to finally experience the remap and the bloody clutch slips around 4.5k revs! Can't be paying out big money for a clutch now with all I have spent recently so my questions are will the clutch be OK for a few more month if it's not hammered. And also will a standard oem clutch brand new be OK with the map.also what kind of cost am I looking at for this. Wish I hadn't bothered in the first place now, my wife will throw me on the street if she finds out how much all this is costing! Lol

Basically since the map all the weaknesses the car already had has been massively hilighted due to the extra power. The clutch is a time consuming job tbh probably looking at 500 quid in an indie garage. It would be possible to do at home just spanner work really but you'd need the car up a goid height to remove the box. Coil packs and diverter valves ain't biggies. Lastly, if your telling the wife you deserve to be homeless!!!

If the clutch is getting replaced it worth considering getting the dmf replaced at the same time to save on future labour costs.  Stock clutch and dmf will cost around £700 from independent garage.

Oem clutch will be perfectly fine with a map no worries at all. The first sign of clutch slip tells all I'm afraid. It isn't gonna get any better unfortunately.
