Waterpump replacment

[Lucas_R]

Oh that's a good reference point. The car has 74k kms now and there's no slippage at all.

Just a very high biting point. Has anyone on the forums had a clutch last more than 100k kms out of curiosity?

Im sure there has been people who's clutches have lasted more than 100k, but its so hard to compare apples with apples because one person might do heaps of km's but a lot of those are on the freeway - so they could have 200,000km's on their stock clutch. Then you have another person who sits in stop start traffic every morning and evening and their clutch is dead well before it really should be.

Also about 90% of owners on here opt for the DSG transmission, so manuals are pretty rare which is a shame as they are much more engaging to drive.

I know what you mean about the clutch pedal being quite vague and a high biting point. A clutch fluid flush should help somewhat with this, but below are a few products designed specifically to help with this:
