VR6 1.8T Clutch Upgrade – Sachs Part Numbers/Codes
The article details the Sachs part numbers you need for the 1.8T clutch upgrade which uses the VR6 clutch kit and G60 flywheel. This guide will not include the flywheel bolt codes that you need (sorry).
Sachs 1.8T Clutch Upgrade – 300lbs/ft
Generally it’s accepted that the Sachs VR6 clutch kit will hold around 300lbs/ft.
However, there are a few clutch kit options from Sachs for the VR6. Which one has the highest torque rating and what are the differences between the kits?
Ratings
Unfortunately, I can’t help on the torque rating of each kit. Personally I have used the 300 384 001 kit on the Octavia VRS project which is supposed to be making around 300 BHP and so far, no issues, but the car driven sympathetically, no standing starts.
Codes
The table below gives the code of each Sachs VR6 clutch kit along with the codes of the clutch discs, cover plate/pressure plate and release bearing that make up each kit.
| VR6 Clutch Kit Code | Clutch Disc Code | Cover Plate Code | Bearing Code |
| 3000 384 001 (older code but the one to get apparently) | 1862 393 031 | 3082 634 031 | 3151 000 388 |
| 3000 951 708 | 1878 004 084 | 3082 231 031 | 3151 000 388 |
| 3000 951 608 (current code at time of writing) | 1878 634 184 | 3082 634 031 | 3151 000 388 |
| 3000 384 002 (very old code) | 1862 464 031 | 3082 231 031 | 3151 180 231 |
