I got a new sachs clutch and dual mass, it slips sometimes...

Would this be because it needs bedding in?

I know the clutch can take my power because a had my remap for about 3weeks and didnt slip once and that clutch had done 103k.

sorry to hear this
i thought you were going to fit a uprated clutch?
not all clutches have the same tension/grip they are built to a tolerance/spec and your old clutch may have been to the top of the tolerance and the new one to the lower end
as i said to you you should have fitted a uprated sach/helix organic and this would of been perfect
if you had it fitted at a specialist/dealer you may have some comeback but not if they know its mapped!

The clutch is fine now it just needed bedding in a bit, i didnt fancy spending 500 on a clutch. Il just see how i get on with this one and see how long it lasts...

I fitted the clutch myself as it only took 4hours so i thought i best stop being lazy as i hate working on my own car lol
