Hello,
My car was 5000 Km when begin having clutch slipping.
We replace the clutch with Sachs performance clutch and pressure plate.
This kit lived for 10000 km then begin to slip again.
My car is only 382 hp but deliver 630nm of torque which is a lot.
After consulting expert into tuning bmw car for rallying they say me
"once a clutch have slipped just one big taim the heat generated will have curved the flywheel even if you can't notice it. After this the friction is never optimal again."
So, when upgrading/replacing a clutch (& pressure plate) you need to replace the flywheel too !
It cost me 2900 euros to do the stuff.
ECU remapped so no warranty but by the way the car is 3 years old so warranty is obsolete AND clutch are most of the time not taken under warranty.
Now this is the joint before the differential who is failing, loosing oil and it smell like hell when riding. Giving me clutch problem idea but no, this is not this new one.
Mods are:
- CDV removed
- ECU remap to 382hp/630nm torque
- Air Filter
- Goodridge brake line
- Pagid Yellow brake pads
- Sachs Performance Organic Clutch disk + High pressure plate (rated to 600nm)
