Either your flywheel has had it
Or its a techniclutch special,
You say its a stg 1 kit? Is the pressure plate red?
What was the name of the ebay company you bought itfrom

Pressure plate is red yes mate but would like to update I've now driven about 200 miles and it seems the clutch needed to bed in its now holding 14psi with no slips thank god

But I am thinking of doing the Mk5 pedal change and putting a 3 padel clutch in
