Re: Clutch slipping 6C GTI


Currently at just over 72k miles and the clutch is holding perfectly fine, the bite is higher when compared to 21k miles when I got the car but that was bound to happen.

The flywheel however....

The damping on the dual mass is pretty much gone. Get a slight rattling noise at idle and light ...

Re: Clutch slipping 6C GTI

Just a small update.

Clutch stopped slipping after one or two thousand km. It was probably a manufacturing or surface defect that luckily went away. Happily driving since

Car's now approaching 100k km (60k miles) and I feel like the clutch bite point is ...

Re: Clutch slipping 6C GTI

Got quoted 2100€ from VW to fix it.

Flywheel and clutch kit at 1300€, rest for smaller parts and labour.

What the... at less than 40k miles?

Can it be something wrong with the cluth assembly? I read a few more Polos having the same issue.

My car has a 5 yr warranty I'm still inside it. It can be ...

Re: Clutch slipping 6C GTI

Whats a good replacement clutch kit?
Do I need to worry about anything else, like pressure plates or different oil?

My car will stay mostly stock, power-wise.

Thanks

Clutch slipping 6C GTI

Hi everyone!

My 6C GTI Polo has a manual and about 62k km (38.5k miles) on the clock and the clutch is slipping frequently in higher gears. It pretty much only bites at the top of the pedal.
My last car had the same clutch for almost 200k km (125k miles) and no issues! I don't think it's my driving ...

Re: New GTI

Hey guys!

What are usually the go-to mods to improve the sound a little bit? Or at least to make it a little bit more throatty and present in the cabin.
I don't have the sport button so no speaker enhanced sound for me :D
I'm not looking into anything too drastic or expensive. A full custom ...

Re: New GTI

It goes thru Portugal? Weird....

When did you order yours? I waited about 4 months for mine last year. Has that situation improved?

Re: New GTI



Just been to see about whether it's worth getting a service plan for mine (10 months old and 8000 miles) and apparently it's not as I'm on the long-life service regime.

However, I did check about CarPlay while I was there and for my May 2015 GTI (ordered March 2015) I can retrofit Car Play for ...

Re: New GTI

Thanks anyways man. Just sent an email to my dealer.
Fingers crossed! Apple's CarPlay for under 250€ would be awesome

New GTI

So, can you retrofit Apple's CarPlay in the GTI? That would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Specially because I didn't get navigation

To my understanding, anyone with the MIB 2 media system can get it enabled, however I will clarify that on Tuesday and update.

How do I know if my unit is ...
