Sorry for the bad luck, you'll be back on the road soon I'm sure, fingers crossed.

Still a great looking machine : )

So unlucky man! Was looking forward to seeing your car there too

Yeah I was super excited, I couldn't believe it when it happened

Yeah couple weeks and back on road, as long as clutch isn't to worn from having 140xxx km's on it and I have to replace that too

[mk5_tdi]

So it's looking to be a dmf failure as the gearbox came out and clutch has lots of play
These are known to **** themselves but never thought it would be as big as what I had
Ordered a clutch last night anyway from Darkside as I was going to change it all while gearbox was out anyway, this one holds 510nm

Good choice.

I was about to say get an uprated one but you made an edit

[mk5_tdi]

haha yeah I forgot to mention it
Still runs a DMF but the SMF get a bit of gearbox chatter they are for big power cars (I'll never be at huge power/torque)

[benough]

So is the DMF stronger on the 510Nm clutch plate compared to a stock one?

[mk5_tdi]

doesn't mention the dmf as being stronger, just the clutch disk and pressure plate
not sure if the oem part is a sachs part?

This car is actually tastefully done compared to that other guy on this forum. Goddamn, that car is a POS.
Well done.

[benough]

That = TRUTH!

What's the euro equivalent of rice?

[manol]

'Rice' 'Ricer' is there to stereotype Asian made cars and perhaps the race of people that drive them. It's also a common food/trend between all Asian countries.

There is no real food that's common between European countries, but Bankruptcy is.

"Man, that guy's car is so bankrupt".
"Hahahahaha, that's such a bankrupt car".
