This other thread started with someone asking for results on cars with the "clutch protection" tune from APR, but turned into people listing how far they went on the stock clutch before slipping. I wanted to start a new thread with a more searchable title and consolidate results on how far Gen 3 GLI owners are going on a stock clutch.
I'll update this first post with results as the thread continues. If you have a Gen 3 and have replaced the clutch, or are currently experiencing noticeable clutch slip, please post with your mileage when tuned and your current mileage. If you use your GLI for anything other than daily driving duties, please mention that. If you have more miles than the current highest and haven't seen any slip, please also post that info. I'll search around the forum and add any more results I find.
Thanks! :wave:
Results are listed below, in order of tuned miles, best to worst. The user name is a link to the post where they reported their mileage. All users have at least a Stage 1 tune, some have additional mods; wherever possible I linked to a post where they listed the extra mods. For reference, I've seen that Gen 2s can go at least 20k, sometimes up to 35k, without noticeable slip.
*Info found in a thread; not directly reported.
**Current mileage; no slip yet.
***Occasional slip; no more than five occurrences, with substantial time between each.
Unless mentioned, all entries are Stage 1.
