6C GTI Manual Clutch
6C GTI Manual Clutch
Hi,
Has anyone had their clutch replaced on their manual 6C GTI? Mines is starting to slip in high gears.
How much did it cost? Do you know the part number?

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
Blimey that's worrying for such a new car to have clutch slip.
Has it covered high miles or been remapped?
I'm afraid I can't help with your question as, so far touch wood, the clutch on mine is ok

if you are not getting vw to sort it get your local garage to fit the above parts plus may

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
No problems with the clutch on my 6c Polo GTI, which is 2 years old and I’ve owned it from new. Admittedly, it is low mileage (12k).
Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
Car is a year and a half old, 25k mileage. Not remapped - it is a lease car. Really disappointed it's starting to go and looks like it will cost a fortune !

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
if it's not mapped and it's quite low miles i'd take it to vw and see what they say
Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
Anyone know what the original Vw part is and how much it cost? Only seen uprated ones online.

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
did you speak to vw ?
i imagine if you kick up enough of a fuss you will get at least a 50% discount on what it should cost

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
With all the heavy snow that's been I can see the car is leaking something onto the snow that looks like oil. Could be related
Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
Update - car went into VW and they said they can't find a fault.
Does the following video look like clutch slip to you?

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
Am I missing something here? Only 18 months old, still in warranty? Why won't VW fix it under warranty? Or the lease company? Surely it's in their interest to get it sorted as well?

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
Although a new car comes with a 3 year warranty, not everything is covered for 3 years. There are quite a few limitations and exclusions. VW’s new car (factory) warranty terms and conditions are at the link below;
http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/warr ... conditions
You’ll see that clutch component parts (release bearing, pressure plate centre plate) are only covered for the first 6 months or 6,500 whichever is the sooner. After that, any clutch issues are deemed to be as a result of wear and tear.
So probably the most the OP could expect from VW is some form of goodwill contribution towards the cost of replacing the clutch.
Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
I am also in this boat currently.
16 plate GTi with 22k on it. Clutch has just started to slip. VW were less the helpful hiding behind that it was wear and tear and regardless to confirm they would have to strip it at my expense. Looking at 600 quid there. Then if the part was proved as wear and tear then would be £1500 for the kit So they also had the cheek to say it would be less if the flywheel was not worn.
Now at just over 22k and a daily driver. This has had a easy life. Show as the brake pads are only @ 20% wear. So I find it really hard to believe that it is wear and tear on the clutch. But not going to give a main stealer money. So gonna bite the bullet and put an upgraded unit in.
Has anyone else suffered with this issue on their GTi?
