If your rear grank oil seal was leaking it could contaminate the clutch .

The pic indicates Turbo failer if its smoke or head gasket if its steam

ok just checking.... my clutch is bone dry.

its just that my clutch was slipping (for a while) but it must have just been the standard clutch not being manly enough for 15psi.

the picture (in my sig) was taken at the end of December at about 9am. its just condensation. note the frost on the driveway/front lawn.

The MK5 pedal uses bigger quadrants so it makes the pedal easier, aswell as being manually adjustable, so theres no auto-adjuster to fail/go wrong

yep loadsa fun, still need to go to the scrappy for those starter motor bolts and that little bracket

i would put the mk5 clutch pedal on even if its standard, its brilliant being able to manually adjust the clutch pedal.
