ECS Clutch upgrade

**VWindahouse** · 23-02-2009, 05:21 PM

Gavin from Custom Code has made up a new ACS clutch package with an uprated cover with 1050 kgs of clamping force (standard Polo is about 600kgs) and a 5.5kg light weight flywheel. Shoot him off a PM (h100VW) for more details

Here is the pics of the ones we built:

Are they not a bit sharp on take up for the street Guy, with no springs in them?

They are sprung Gavin (look closely)

Are you talking about the wavy line between the bit with the spline and the next bit out with the rivets?

Don't look like much spring in there.

You obviously need to see them in the flesh - they are German made & well up to the task.

Project Polo ran them for 18 months & there are several "hot" Polo's including
K04 versions still happily running them.

Does APR offer these as a kit?

I saw a scrap one on Saturday in Brisbane Guy and couldn't see anything that looked like springing, as I understand it.

Maybe I'll have another look at it next month when I come up again.
