Another new Alltrack thread...

This is partly what is causing the clutch burn outs on the 7 spd boxes When You come up behind traffic DONT CREEP Stop still until the line moves again because letting it creep is the same as slipping a clutch on a manual. Will ultimately cause clutch failure.

This is really good info to know, i will have to train the wife... Is this still a major problem in the 13.5 Passats ?

Can be a problem with ANY DSG box, lesser so with the 6 spd wet clutch box Not so good on a 7spd

No traffic with VW at all as far as I have found.

A $38 boot mat from Supercrap cut to fit worked for me until my proper one arrived and I then put it on top of the expensive one.

Have seen them on Ebay at times and from a place in USA but postage would be horrendous. It cost me about $24 to post the foam one to Vic

I have 3M film on the rear bumper and door sills to stop scratches.

You can buy cut shapes for the door handle recesses fairly cheap from a guy in Canada that would stop fingernail marks under the handles. I have a couple of metres of it ATM that I might cut some out of Its $30 a metre for 300mm wide

Thanks, I'm now trying to work out do I go to Clark rubber or get the one from VW.

Thats a great idea about the 3M trick.. I will look into this..

Dam about the no traffic, as I use this a lot on the tomtom to get around..

Clark rubber think their products laced with gold the one from Supercrap is big enough and easy to trim to fit
