Hi

I’ve got an unmodified Golf R (7.0) 2016.

Manual with 40K miles.

The clutch is made of toffee as is well reported.

I’m keen to replace the clutch but I really don’t want it to be overly heavy. I will then remap.

1. Has anyone tried the Mountune clutch and flywheel on their R?

2. I ask as I see Mountune advertise an upgraded clutch and flywheel for the GTi but not for the R. I have emailed them but haven’t yet heard back. I know the oem GTi and R clutches have different part numbers but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are not the same. Does anyone know if they are the same clutch (and flywheel) on the R as on the GTi?

3. What are people’s experience of the Mountune short shifter?
