    One second im just cruzing along, and the next i have a terrible noise coming from the clutch area, put my foot on the clutch and its as solid as a rock, would not move.

    so its back at the guys that did the clutch a month or so ago and im just waiting by the phone!

    **Edit** The speedo read 200001 when it came off the tow truck

    Apparently something has broken between the clutch slave cylinder and the thrust bearing.

    Should they have noticed it when they changed the clutch? they are trying to tell me that the flywheel and clutch combo i have is to blame....

    im not a happy camper right now.

    I got an email back from the crowd i bought the setup from and they said the only explanation for this kind of failure is installer error.

    I'd better not be forking out for the labour on this one!!

    BlackVR6, Keep your head up dude.....You think your car hates you, how do you think i feel....remember all that overheating trouble ive been having....

    My car is with Golf Loon getting a new engine put in....its costing me an arm and a leg to do but i need the car so desperately as were expecting and the missus could drop any minute....

    Whether its a cracked head or head gasket, i was told it was cheaper and easier to just put a new lump in...i just hope and pray that once its all done i dont have any other problems......

    i feel your pain.....
