No contest.....................................................SACHS all the way. But then i would say that as i work for them and have tested them out on my allard tuned ibiza fr tdi before i wrote it off.

Same here

I was running the same conversion as Spanny on my Ibiza PD130 and never had any problems

P.s what happened to your car Dan?

Try and find a sach clutch for less than £450 with out fittin, i think you wont be able to

wanna bet see my previous post hehehe

Well if he's vat registered, has a returns policy and liability insurance then you're on to a winner for £25 per hour.

yeah he is vat registered!

its good to know people in the world of motorsport.

The reason i will probaly get a Helix clutch is because thats what he fitted to my step dads evo 4! years back for £700

Thats what happened matey, had 200 yrds or less to slow down from 145 ..... kph to 50 mph otherwise i was a dead man. Hit a van at about 80 ish and then swerved across all 3 lanes, and down an embankment. Game over for the ibiza im afraid to say :(

What happened to the S3?

/\ never liked the ibiza front end anyways, looks better now

Ouch! Were you injured after that? :(

What happened to the S3?

:eek:

I did not rate the S3 and was only doing 10 miles a day in it so it had to go

I needed a big boot so that's why I went for the Octy

As you can see for my signature it did not stay standard for long (Only had it 5 months)

nope, got out when the car came to a stop and walked away. no bruises, no cuts, nothing.Just hurt pride :(

Nice

I see Gaz went for the R32

yep he did :lol: its very very nice too, although he also has a mk2 polo 1.0l lol, as the r32 costs too much in fuel.

Anyways, think we should carry our convos on on pm, as we are hijacking this thread :(

This is ours when a copper car ran into the side :(

Not quite as bad as yours tho,

Back to the topic in hand, i would say sach all the way but then again i have just bought one Not quite rebuilt yet so i cant comment on the feel of it, but it does look nice

DMF = £89+VAT

£89!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mechanic just charged me £250 fo my DMF!!!! Have i been done right over!?!?:mad:

As for the clutch prob, iv got the sachs and find it great, havent had any clutch slip every and i drive (at times) quite hard! But then when driving normally with day to day driving it feels OEM:thumbup:

Thank god, thought id been done over good and propper for a min then!

DMF = £89+VAT

How? Main stealers quote about £1000 fitted and say that the DMF is a good few hundred of that.

Yup i priced one up a stealers too, 384+vat for the DMF :eek: then 5 hours labour @ £80 per hour labour.

think the total was 940 something, and that was just for the flywheel, no clutch

Thats crazy! i paid about £1400 for eibachs, jabba ARB, sachs organic clutch and RB and OEM DMF and that was all parts and fitting!

working for a manufacturer has its perks shocks, dmf, race clutches, race suspensions, power steering pumps, racks, steering and suspension parts etc etc i get them all at what we buy them from germany. Any place that sells SACHS stuff in the UK will have passed through our doors at one point or another of course each time it passes hands, people need to add there mark ups onto things.

UPDATE

Stepdad spoke to mechanic today, he recommends sachs or helix.

going to phone tommorrow with a fitted price, so will post up then
