Going to get the FAP removed and get a remap. Reading over old posts there is a lot of talk about the clutch and fly wheel not lasting as long on the 1.6gti hdi after the remap.
How long is not long? Cars done 50k I only do around 5-6k a year.
Cheers Luke

Not been done yet. Just looking for a rough estimate RS Tuning quotes 137hp 295nm after remap so on them figures average driving with occasional blasts roughly how long.
Dont want to have the remap and need a clutch in 3 months if Im going to be looking at 10-15k miles then thats 2-3 years time so not bothered about that.

if you are going to do the clutch make sure you get the helix sport clutch or anything with similar quality. they aren't cheap but they are good stuff. i think last time i pay 350 for the complete clutch kit (parts only)

So does no body have an idea roughly how long a standard clutch will last after a map.
Cheers seabrook also can you recommend a fly wheel ive read a lot of posts about changing to a single but no mention of which one is best.

Just find out how much torque your current clutch can handle. All standard clutches are built with a tolerance. If your new torque figure is close to or over the maximum rated for your standard clutch with 50k on the clock it won't last long.
For example I had an Ibiza FR diesel with a standard clutch rated up to 300ft/lb of torque with the standard car only pushing out 229ft/lb. Despite my remap only taking the car up to around the 300 mark it still slipped
