SACHS VW Performance Clutch Kit
Also around the same time new lower control arms came in from BFI with R32 and poly bushings installed, and a Sachs clutch kit.
Have a Sachs performance clutch kit... This kit works with the factory dual mass flywheel, and has a torque rating of 400 ft lbs. Clutch only has 9,000 miles...Can be used with 2008-2018 GTI or Golf with 6-speed manual 02Q trans, gas engine or TDI.
I used an OEM equivalent Sachs clutch kit including slave. It’s holding 24psi tunes for it to redline. My slave will leak a little if extended too far, IE pushed to floor. I did not use a spacer and refuse to drop the tranny agin unless absolutely necessary. Daily driving in town and I’ll have to add fluid once a month. This fluid is bleeding by at the slave because I can see it at the weep hole on the bottom of the tranny housing.
I just did an Exedy 'OEM' type kit from Goodwin with a new Master Cylinder and a new Slave Cylinder and a long Braided clutch line from Master to Slave and I have Zero complaints! Everyone at Goodwin is Top Notch and Exedy stands by their product! I also did a light weight Exedy Flywheel. This was all on a 94 1.8 that I just bought that had the exact same Throwout Bearing grinding that you are talking about! And, once I got in there I found that the Pilot bearing was also seized. I did the rear main since I was in there too lol.
Exedy OEM replacement kit has never failed me.
I went with the "Performance" clutch kit from Sachs directly for ~$1300 including dual mass flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Rated to 550+Nm. No regrets. Was SUPER stiff when I first got it, but loosened up within 300-400 miles and feels close to stock now in terms of clutch effort, more grabby than stock.
Check rockauto. They have some brand name clutch kits for your car (sachs, valeo,luk). They also have the dual mass flywheel for your car as well for much less than 900$. You may not even need the flywheel replaced.
I have the Sachs Xtend kit on my dual pulley S5 w/ss clutch line and it holds power well. My problem is that it slips on digs if I don’t quick shift into second.
I blame the part. I bought a Sachs 16v kit too, when I put a big spline tranny in my last diesel. Same thing happened in less than 5000 miles!!!! The rivet straight up FELL OUT!
