RSR clutch kit questions/concerns
- Thread starter whitebeastMKV
- Start date
When I rev up there are minor vibration but that is expected and normal, no virbation when rpm drops to idle.
Good luck with the DMFW.

Figured out what the issue was which caused the low rpm vibration. Previously had the 034 Street Density trans mount with BFI Stage 1 engine mount in place. Last night I swapped the BFI Stage 1 engine mount for the matching 034 Street Density engine mount and the vibration at 1,500 - 1,800 rpm is gone! It seems after adding the Audi TT-RS pressure plate and TDI disc with a new DMFW made me notice this vibration on the trans side of the mount combo, possibly since the poly engine mount was stiffer sending more feedback to the rubber trans mount. Right now the mounts are now both the same durometer rubber from the same company, no more mismatch between mount materials and companies. Initially the feedback was an imbalanced flywheel which cost me clutch labor again as I was able to get a warrantied flywheel. Turns out moving over to a matched engine and trans mount combo settled all sorts of NVH issues I noticed.s

Looks like FourSeasonTuning who previously provided the RSR disc is not providing it along with the TT-RS PP: http://www.fourseasontuning.com/rsr-tt-rs-hybrid-clutch-kit-for-tsi.html

Anyone with the LUK TT-S kit running K04 without slippage? I know the TT-RS PP should hold better but can't justify spending more for nothing because the whole point of this is saving a lot of money which would convince me to go K04. My car is a daily driver and I just have fun from time to time but nothing insane like pulls from 1k rpm to red line in 4th...

What is everyone doing with the clutch disk that comes with the TT-RS PP?

How does this RSR kit compare to the HS Tuning one?

Nothing, it's mounted on my wall, we can't do anything but try to sell it to Audi TT-RS owners.
HS Tuning sells the RSR kit, they are the same.
To clear it up for everyone, any "RSR" you purchase that is not directly from HS Tuning is a copy. Four seasons even went as far as to steal the RSR name from them, which it pretty bold.
HS Tuning is THE ONLY company that put in the hundreds or man hours and costs of trying out tons of different pressure plates, disks, friction material and combinations of all of the above to come to the setup they now sell, coined as the "RSR." HS's kit includes all NEW OEM parts, bolts and the upgraded TOB.
People made a DIY kit that included similar components, but not a key change that HS does before shipping their kit. And no, I'm not talking about drilling bigger holes in the pressure plate. Most of the people making DIY kits are using remanufactured items as well to keep the cost down, because they find buying brand new OEM items puts the cost around the same as the kit HS sells. Does the DIY kit work? Sure. Is is the same as what HS sells? No. Does the DIY kit have a warranty or any customer support? No.
Four seasons used to sell the disk and pressure plate seperately. Then they figured out what people were doing and put together a "kit" of their own, utilizing the stolen HS Tuning RSR brand name. But no, it is not exactly the same as what HS put together.

Thanks HYDE16 for the reply. I figured it would become wall art. Clutch and TOB ordered. Now I'm about to order the PP and DMFW.
