AlexTRea Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I would like to know what benefits I would get?If it would make any difference? What I should be looking for and recommendations on what other people have used?Or shall I just stick with the stock lupo TDI clutch? No smart arse remarks please as I am researching this outside of club lupo too.Any help would be appreciated. Cheers alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 No point in upgrading the clutch unless you are running a lot more power though it.I have a paddle clutch in my civic and its a pig, its heavy and very all or nothing. Really annoying tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkie Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 i have the 6n2 polo tdi with obviously the same engine, its been remappedive had another clutch put in, and i couldnt find a upgraded clutch so i just had the standard one put in and touch wood its perfectly adequatehope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTRea Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Cheers guys. I know that the clutch is the same as the 130ps one. Any ideas on what a lightened fly wheel do? I should really know this baring in mind I'm on a motorsport course haha. Edited February 19, 2011 by AlexTRea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jase Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 lightened flywheel in theory should pick up the revs a little quicker and have less transmission loses.... whether it does in reality or not is another questionnot sure if this will fit??sachs clutch and fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Helix do a paddle clutch for the lupo. I have one on my GTi.I dont know if it fits the TDi though, you will have to check flywheel diameters and pressure plate diameters to see.Its not too heavy either, probably due to the hydraulic assist on the clutch. And its not to fierce either.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I've done an uprated clutch kit for a Lupo TDI chap in France before. He used the Helix Autosport Paddle friction plate (supplied by me) and the rest of the bits were just Genuine ones (cover plate and bearing)The cover plate that the lupo TDI uses is exactly the same part as what the Fabia 100bhp 1.9TDI uses. For this reason, it's perfectly capeable of any amount of power you're realistically going to get out of it.The standard clutches in 100bhp 1.9TDI's have been known to kick out around 250-260lb/ft of torque and are used in much heavier cars without any slipping. The Lupo is a nice light car and lets face it, almost ever going to kick out 250-260lb/ft of torque.Let me know if you are interested in the helix paddle friction plate and I'll work out a price for you.

nfbr Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Bad news Doesn't look like they make that particular part any more. It's been removed from all their catalogues and is now an 'Obsolete' part.Sorry guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTRea Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Cheers for trying though al, much appreciated!!Anyother ideas? Or just stick with the orginal one with maybe a lightened fly wheel? While I have your ears, how much lighter are the GTI doors and bonnet compared to the likes of a TDI?

nfbr Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Aye. Looks like it's OEM or GTFO I'm not 100% sure on the doors and bonnet actually. I think Andi (Tigz) did some research into this a while back and came up with some answers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTRea Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 OEM FTW. I may investigate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie1 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Cheers for that nfbr, iv got gti doors on mine and they are noticably lighter. I think its like 22kg each rather than 32kg each whatever they are there is a 10kg diff per door. you can deff feel the diffrence when your carrying them around! its just finding some thats the issue lol. The bonnet i think i read 6kg instead of 10 or along those lines. Im looking for a gti bonnet now and then il be a happy chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 It's probably easier and cheaper to find a used Carbon bonnet than it will be for a genuine lupo gti alu bonnet. VW made the alu bonnet obsolete so second hand ones get snapped up very fast and at very high prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie1 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 yeah i was going to get one from germany with the doors but now i have the doors it makes me less likley to go. I found a bonnet from CF but it was from madmotors or something and didnt look the part, also prob just a skinned steel frame which id rather not bother.
