This is my listAh now that is smart! Covers all the gubbins beautifully. Is there a part number on it by chance??
Also, how are you fixing the right hand side cover in? I have heard people say they have just jammed it in but I think I’d like some fixings on it….
Thanks!
Got it from Motor parts direct took a week as was back ordered was £398 thats at cost plus VAT also so retail would be £400 plus !!Where did you source that flywheel and costs?
No real problem i just didn’t like the gearbox chatter with the LWFW and RS4 clutch setupMaking great progress chap, just reading it all again.
What was the problem with the previous DMF/clutch?
Nice work, looks like it’s all coming together.New clutch arrived Monday from Awesome GTI

You go sintered fiction plate then ?Nice work, looks like it’s all coming together.
I’ve got the same Sachs clutch and DMF set up. The clamping force is crazy compared to the standard unit, took awhile to get used to but it’s epic. Definitely worth the upgrade if you’re adding power!
I have access to a 2 post rampHow did you find dropping the gearbox etc, straight forward, any thing specific to lookout for?
Time wise?

Did one of these just before Xmas as it non Quattro one had a big oil leak, very fiddly but very satisfying as when I removed mine it was full of oil and replacing the rings made the brakes feel like they had been overhauled and refreshed. A big difference and I was looking at kits on eBay earlier to do the same to the Quattro.Ordered this today as the gaskets aren’t available through the dealer you have to buy a new pump.

Just fitted it not noticed much with the brakes shall see how it goesDid one of these just before Xmas as it non Quattro one had a big oil leak, very fiddly but very satisfying as when I removed mine it was full of oil and replacing the rings made the brakes feel like they had been overhauled and refreshed.

Mine was leaking oil really badly though. I bought the car from clearance place and there was a 'gunk' under the oil filler cap which I now know was an 'oil leak sealer' product because as soon as I dropped the oil and refilled it, it just leaked badly down the back of the gearbox and when I removed it, it was full of oil so mine really was bad. Maybe yours' wasn't so bad to notice a difference, but mine was night and day and they feel better than the brakes on my S-Line Quattro.Just fitted it not noticed much with the brakes shall see how it goes
No I went with the organic plate, almost went sintered but don’t think I’ll be going above 400pft with the build.You go sintered fiction plate then ?
I was expecting a harder pedal myself but i have to say the pedal is not as bad as i was expecting.
Only did half a mile in it earlier today after fixing the leaking fuel pipe as ive changed it from banjo fitting to the rubber hose and barb fitting.
Will see how it is when i finish work later
