Dom Mk3 -  :cry: I've only read about high clutch biting points!
 
Greg - Yeah think you're right about adjustment off the car. If only Money wasn't a problem!

Was thinking along lines of remap/head work aswell, would be nice to free up a few more horses....

well the good thing about a high biting point - it doesn't give you the gear change problems I have!

Maybe we need a poll for mk3 16v owners - where does yours bite ;)

Does a high biting point on a hydrolic clutch mean its on its way out then?
I thought it usually did mean that...

It feels like it's on the way out, doesn't really slip, only occasionally.

I'd love it to bite in the middle-top like most cars!

i'd say biting point is at about 80% of the upward travel on mine. No slippage whatsoever...so far

That probably means there is not much 'meat' left on the clutch friction disc.

There sure are a lot of black valvers on here!

It is a damn good colour though, especially in the metallic.
