Fr tdi clutch same as Cupra tdi?

[Nick_J]

Hi guys and girls.

As the title suggests, is the clutch the same on the Fr Tdi PD as on the Cupra tdi PD?

IF so, surely remapping to 180 bhp 270-280ft lb of torque shoudnt be that damaging to the clutch as long as its driven correctly?

Cheers

Nick

You only really need to change the clutch for an uprated one when you get closer to 300lb/ft.

So long as you try not flooring it at lower revs the clutch should be OK.

pretty sure its the same clutch, the pd160 is only running 253lbft as standard, but most bring up more like 260-270lbft on RR so probably safe around that mark.

Same flywheel and clutch.

 

[Tom B]

Yep, clutch and flywheel are the same in the ASZ and BPX engines.

 

[Nick_J]

Ok, thanks for the information

 

[Sisson]

the pd130 produces 229lb.ft standard and the pd160 produces 243lb.ft [i think.]

Most produce nearer 250lb.ft but once remapped they will be 280lb.ft+

The clutch starts to slip at 290 lb.ft

 

[Nick_J]

Yeh, i thought the limit was about 300lb.ft torque, i was going to get it to about 275 lb.ft to try and keep it safe. Im a very smooth driver anyway so hoping for no probs

 

[Ad Lav]

Mine is 296 lb/ft and doesn't slip

 

[Nick_J]

Kool, think it depends alot on how you drive it as to how the clutch handles

 

[diss_50]

Thats the only thing worring me about a remap. I thought id need a new clutch. But if yous are getting 296 without slipping it seems the standard one will do

is the diesel clutch the same as the petrol as i have a clutch and flywheel for sale for peanuts!

 

[kriso]

Diesel clutches are different to petrol. I think they are bigger

 

[devonmikeyboy]

Petrol Ibiza Cupra is different to the PD 130/140/150/160/160 clutch.

Mine slipped if provoked, has been remapped for 45k. Now with the cold weather with us, its slipps in all but 1st gear

New clutch in the new year I think!

 

[Mr Cellotape]

My Cupra TDI is standard and I can spin the clutch up very easily in cold conditions if driving in high gears at low revs then accellerating hard. ie not working up through the gears.

If you go through the gears you may be ok, however you will probably need to change the clutch sooner or later.

 

[rashcupra]

may as well chuck all my standard cupra running gear got

clutch, flywheel, injectors, maf sensor, ko3s turbo, turbo intake pipe, standard airbox, maf housing, just rotting under the bed

maybe selling up as well

on stage 1 clutch used to get clutch slip dont know how some of you put up with it! its so annoying makes the car even slower imo! cant use the power ect frustrating when your trying to overtake as well! but that got sorted ages ago thank GOD!

im buying an ibiza 130 sport remaped to 185 bhp and 304 nm of torque!, it has an organic single plate clutch, all i know about the clutch is the Jap drifters use it! are they a long life clutch that take the punishment from the power????????????????

I think somebody has been telling you a load of shite mate. You need to fing out the name of the clutch and some proof that it has been fitted by sounds of things if they are talking crap like that.

Jap drifters to a diesel hatchback, nice!
