Work around?

Yes, it means you don't need a bloody hydro pedal box.

It means everything just bolts up.

Seems to work just fine on my and DannyP's Golfs.  :undecided:

Hmmmn, seems to be a divided opinion. Having driven neither I'm a bit lost as to which will suit me better. Plus there is no one local to me who has one to compare.
Heard that there can be issues with getting the biting point correct and it can impede speedy progress up and down the 'box? Is this bollox?
 I will be using the car daily and v.occasional trackday hooliganism.

seat setup was good enough for seat to use on production cars.  tho hydralic is better its much titing about

Having spent today looking for a hydraulic setup with no success, did find a B2 passat and a B3 VR6 Passat Estate for sale not far from me but nothing actually useful, seems I might have a better chance of scoring what I need from a SEAT.

I am, however, having filthy thoughts about that VR Estate.... the possibilities.... :grin:

 :grin: Perhaps, but I haven't seen a VRT B3 Estate. That'd be something a bit different. There again there maybe a reason why it's not been done. The woeful fuel economy without the driving dynamic of a sports car :grin: Could be a great sleeper though.

Yes they did, did they not also do a G60 one too? :nerd:

Have been driving a wagon for the last 3months or so whilst the mk2 has been off road and They are seriously starting to grow on me. B3 passat could be awesome. Found a GT estate too :cool:

Been given some good info regarding the Hydraulic clutch setup too so will post that up later on.
