Since I had remap done by @BobbySingh 2 years ago, car's clutch couldn't cope with upgraded power, if pushed hard. Even on a 3rd or 4th gear it is slipping.
If driven normally, it performs as standard.
Bobby also confirmed that when I came back to him so he had to reduce some of the power.
Well, been today to a couple of garages to finally get a quote for that job.
Knew it isn't going to be cheap and kind of confirmed my predicament.
One garage I go to to mot the car, quoted me £980 for Valeo set of DMF and clutch kit, with labour. As I have sent many people to them and We know each other, got a final price if £880.
Second garage I had braked replaced two years ago, gave me two options and prices.
Option 1 is DMF with clutch kit an labour and vat (wtf?) @ £1,040
Option 2 is to go for the solid fly wheel conversion and clutch kit with labour and vat @ £960.
No discount offered as guy I know wasn't there. Think, it wouldn't be big discount, if there would be any.
Second garage recommend the conversion as they did loads of them and are better, future wise and are cheaper. Their claims, it doesn't make a difference to the torque, power, performance and I do not need to worry about it in the next time.
Next time? Just clocked shy over 103k and I can still drive the car, as it should be driven.
They also recommended to consider upgrading the clutch to a better one, like a racing/stage 1 one but it will increase the cost. Well, an extra £50-100 is more but still could justify it, if I would see performance or torque improvement. Think I would go for that.
What do you guy think about the conversion kit? Is it safe? Is it as reliable? Is it worth it?
Apparently, LUK or Valeo doesn't do conversion kits for their own clutches and products so the quote from the second garage had to be based on conversion kit from one brand and clutch from the other brand. At least that's what I have been told
