still works  :shocked:
still havent changed the clutch ether.

question is  is it worth putting a clutch in a 1.8T with those miles

either its not driven far when the pic was taken or it needs a thermostat, brake warning light is on.. is that STOP message for oil pressure? simple fixes so if its not rattly and it boosts okay whack a clutch in it i've seen them live on to 250k+ miles

Stop light and brake warning light come on together.   it dose that sometimes  presume the ABS ecu/pump is dyeing as you can't read any codes off it when it's haveing a fit.  thats an evening job some point as i've got a spare pump/ecu module

thermostst is ok, hadnt gone very far when took photo    about a 1.5 mile of forest track

no tappet rattel fixed that,  wastegate rattels but it's allways done that,  ecu occasionly flags p1556  aka negative charge pressure deviation   keep meaning to have a proper look at sorting that when get 5 mins.

been wondering if it'll make  225622  miles.

fit a std non dual mass clutch set up if you don't think £500+ is worth it! (mines non dual mass and apart from a little more vibration, it's 99% ok!)

i'm thinking it'll just get a friction disk. if it has a dual mass its lasted this long  it can last a bit longer 

but fisrst i need a new wheel for it after this morning......  fecking pot holes

So your approaching 50mph, presumably in 2nd gear, on a forest road, as you managed to get the ABS light on, taking a photo as 190k rolled round....

Nice bit of multi tasking!
