2.0 Tsi clutch slips problems

[foronoob]

Guys, good morning.
I'm from Argentina, so excuse my low level of English.

I have a 2011 Jetta 2.0TSI mk6 3000km (1870 mileS) of use. With just 2500km (1500m) I reprogram it with APR Stage 2 +. In The cold days if abruptly accelerated, the clutch slips bad, is this normal?

I´m waiting for my k04 APR kit, should I change my clutch? wich one is the best choice for my car?

Unfortunately yes. The TSI are known for a weak clutch, especially when it comes to stg2. Warm the car up before you get on it too.

[pattrick02]

that is one of the weakest points in our cars...if you're looking to go k04, i'd definitely look into upgrading your clutch..it will be a definite necessity.

You need a better clutch. The stock one can't handle that much torque

You can check South Bend clutches, Clutchmasters, and I think Sachs makes a performance clutch

thanks, guys.

South Bend Stage 3 daily or Fx400?

I'm running the FX400 on my KO4 and haven't any issues and there's a few that have them with no issues. Some people have had prblems with Southbend, but I think there were just early versions of the clutch and have been modified since then. Just realize that if you go with one of those kits you will start to get some chatter noise even on the SouthBend Silent design.

Especially with the A/C on. Wish there was a true "silent" design but also realize there is some degree of give if you want a grippy clutch.

How bad is the chatter? Is it audible inside/outside the vehicle? Is it worth it to pay extra for the Daily or Silent design?

On any of them the chatter will be audible from outside (like if your outside standing next to it), obviously it could be more or less with each different kit. If I were to rate it (loudest to quietest) the SB non-silent will be the loudest, then the SB Silent, FX-400 8-puck. You can ge tthe FX-400 in a 6 or 4 puck but the 8 puck is the quietest. It is very close between the SB silent and the FX-400 so to be honest you could go either way for those two. Now same goes for the interior and on each kit when you have the a/c on and idle is the loudest it will get. Once you start moving you hear more gear noise than the stock clutch but with the SB silent and the FX-400 those chatter noises can be hindered if you have the radio on more than say 8-10 (depending what you have the master volume set at), but if you listen to music all the time in the car even with the a/c on you won't notice the chatter on the Silent or FX-400, keep in mind the rushing air noise from the a/c also helps and usually requires you to put the radio volume higher. You may have to crank it up a tad more with the non-silent design, but even that isn't to bad. It really comes down to what are you expecting from the clutch and what can you live with when you drive the car, whether it a DD or not.

Thanks. I hate noise but hate slip even more.

you'll get used to it.. just sounds like a diesel. I wasn't sure in the beginning, but now I don't care.. kinda think its cool actually

[kern417]

my exhaust beings to rattle after the car warms up and if the a/c is on it gets worse too. I guess it's something similar. It does annoy me, but moreso i can hear it with my window open and i feel like it sounds like my car is falling apart. Maybe I'm making it a bigger deal than it is
