Someone else has a GTI breaking...
1st clutch was destroyed as I bought the car, the one I fitted keeps juddering, so I replaced it. 40000Km and this one has gone, I think the spring get bended (as stock one).

If your on your 4th clutch you either need to learn how to use the clutch properly, stop launching off at traffic lights or you need to get the car checked out because that isnt right...or you used p**s poor replacement parts.

I've heard of people changing their clutch ever 30-40 k miles but that's still half of what you've done haha
#13: Re: F****d GTI 180 clutch! Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 2:39 am ---- A decent driver should be able to get 100k + miles out of a clutch on a average road car IF the mechanical side of things is in good working order.

Changed mine at 28k (I think) but that was due to a lot of heel to toe shifting and the trust release bearing made its horrible noise.

What about gearbox?
