How long does ECS usually take to ship to Australia? I am on their site now looking at their stage 1 kit. bout 550 landed. Does that sound decent? 490 for the 14lb kit. Is the 20.5lb better?

If you order today, they'll usually ship same day. Then it would be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Shipping is pricey but generally fast. Either or, the heavier one may be a bit smoother vibe wise. Got the 14 in my polo and no complaints

Bought the 14lb one. Was a bit cheaper and my car is already as creaky as anything and the exhaust is loud so I doubt I will notice anything haha.

Mechanic is nice enough to leave my car up on the hoist till I get the clutch to him. Labour still he reckons is gonna be about $500 or so....

If he didn't already have the car up and the tranny dropped I would have a crack at it myself!

Keep that mechanic sweet!

Back on the road now. Clutch feels real good! Can't hear any noise at all from it. MUCH lighter to push in than the old one.

But now I'm having the Revs bouncing a bit. Like ALMOST stalling at times after either coming to a stop and pushing the clutch in. It will bounce maybe 3 or so times. And If I'm just sitting there and give it a quick rev it will also bounce. I did a quick search and most people either talked about coolant sensor or throttle body needing a clean. Any other things i should check that could be causing the revs fluctuating?

My car would stall out coming to a stop after we put the engine back in. Gavin cleaned the throttle body and all is sweet again! So I'd check that, also check for vac leaks. Maybe the mechanic forgot to plug something back in after the clutch job?

Nice I've give that a go tomorrow morning and also check for any vac leaks. When I was reading a lot of threads said that you need VAG-COM to realign the throttle body? I don't have it, but I thought that it was align itself?

If you turn the ignition on and don't start the car, it'll hum and buzz. Takes about a minute all up. You can force it with VCDS.

Likely to be a leak somewhere.

Cleaned throttle body today. Seemed to have fixed my bouncing idle about 95 percent. Throttle body was pretty darn dirty. Definately worth the 20 minutes to whip it out and clean it!
