So my clutch deceided to start slipping there in higher gears. perfect time just before christmas. my mpg has gone down to around 29mpg .. would anything else be causing this? also found this on darkside developments

anyone ever have any dealings with them in the past? On euro car parts its around £500 for flywheel and clutch separately.

Darkside is always a little deceptive as you have to add VAT and delivery to the prices so that end up at £442 , still cheaper than £500.
They are a perfectly legit company I have bought the odd thing off them over the years.
Have a look at BuyPartsby they are about the cheapest I have found for LUK clutches and DMF's.

People always experience poorer mpg on diesels this time of the year because of the drop in temperature, always using lights, heater, fan etc and a small change comes about because of winter diesel coming in. There will be many ,many threads in the next week about diesl mpg dropping. There always is. Of course a slipping clutch won't help either.

Check your engine code from your owners doc, but that looks like its the correct one.

If you still have my number text me and il put you onto good VW audi mechanic at new bridge who are great working on VAG Cars,

Hi all, just seen this thread the wife needs a clutch and DMF for her B8 2.0 tdi 143 and I just looked on dark side and it said the grand total to pay was in the pic below , this seems a good deal as it was £123 cheaper than my Indy could get an LUK one for , are Sachs ones as good as LUK ?

Don't wanna be spending the wife's money on the wrong parts as she been saving for months to get it done,

Thanks,

Si
