when i drive long distances at the same speed then decide to speed up using boost the clutch will slip, at no other time will this happen, only when on long motorway drives ???


any ideas peeps?


i do have to replace a gasket on the turbo iol return pipe at the turbo end, it cant be that can it ??

 

no mate not your gasket. deffo sounds like your clutch mate

 

i dont agree , if itr was as you say ''deffo my cluctch mate''

it would do it round town too , why does it only happen when warm ??

 

Thats your clutch mate. Put a bigger turbo a couple of months back and that was what was happening to me.

Its the first sign of your clutch going IMO
Dont know jack about gaskets affecting slippage, dont sound rite to me.

 

its probably as said first signs of clutch slip, whas happening is the car hasnt got alot of strain on the drivetrain/clutch when cruising along and then u accelerate the turbo comes in and sliiiiiiiiip, thats what i think

 

When clutches get hot they will slip more than when cold, and its doing it on the motorway i would of thought cos your in 5th and its harder to pull the car faster.

 

happened to me last year first signs of clutch going and also use to slip after 4 or 5 hard launches
