Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[Damoegan]

Dont worry, I'll let you know how it is mate

Yer, catch can, bonnet lifters and pillar pod with oil temp gauge to fit when I get the time

hope it all goes well with fitting it when it arrives and make sure you triple check its lined up. when you do fit it.
might be a good oppurtunity for a gearbox oil change too while its out.

 

[Damoegan]

Eventualy got my new clutch (Sachs VR6) and flywheel (lightened and balanced G60). We will be fitting it on the 12th

Then its the turbo to sort out

Finally ate the bearing with all that boost?

Slipping at anything >1bar of boost..

 

[RpR]

Was getting at the "Then it's the turbo to sort out" in your post above! How many miles on it ?

 

[Damoegan]

Ah, circa 47k miles.. Its not the actual turbo its self but I stripped a bolt in it when fitting the high flow mani. So I need to helicoil one of the bolt holes.

 

[RpR]

Ah, no big problem then. Would be a bit early for the turbo to quit, even at that boost

 

[cupra.al]

did you get your new clutch and flywheel on?

We got it finished today (after we lost a tiny little o-ring for the slave cylinder yesterday )

But what a tw@t of a job... The gearbox is just so heavy and there is just no room in the mk4 bay

Dave and me look like we have been fighting as we are both full of bruses

Pics to follow soon..

How long did it take for your green filter to come mate ive been waiting like 2 weeks now

 

[Damoegan]

I hope I never have to do a 1.8T box again, Steve.......

Think it took 2-3 weeks for my filter to come..

[Damoegan]

Old dead clutch (left) Vs new VR6 unit (right)..

Old..

New..

Old (left) Vs new (right)..

Old..

New..

All fitted..

 

[DPJ]

* We had to drill out the release plate so it would fit the dowels on the G60 flywheel.

 

[Damoegan]

Forgot about that, Dave.. No big deal though, only a 2 min job

 

[DPJ]

So are you going to comment on the clutch in use?

 

[Damoegan]

Perrrrfect mate

Slightly lower and stronger bite, and no "chatter" that everyone goes on about with the SMFW..

All in all, a very nice clutch

Whats your thoughts on it, Dave?

 

[DPJ]

Not a downside to it. I had the pleasure of driving Damien's car for about 30 miles in traffic after we'd finished - I loved the clutch. Smooth and driveable.
