Never bothered changing mine between the settings, just stuck it straight to the tightest setting. Worked fantastically on the car, such a major upgrade imho. I now have my spare one in the garage, gonna strip it down and get it powder coated and then sell on once i get some more clips made up. I'm tempted to even modify it further and make it into a super stiff setting see how that pans out

:lol: guys im glad you find them amusing Sparkie your comeback one was awsome, was literally crying when i watched it for the first time

Touche with the banning stick ram rod Much loves

Sparkie, feel free to come back with your own video effort

Hi Guys, just made this i think you'll find it amusing http://www.xtranormal.com/watch?e=20091012141427688 And here's another i did yesterday http://www.xtranormal.com/watch?e=20091011165727660 Enjoy Sorry, forgot to say, it may take a bit of time loading, but its worth it in the end 2nd one especially

With regards to the rust, i also had one that rusted after 2 months pretty badly, after taking it off the car after 16 months it was pretty bad, i did recieve a new one from awsome gti though FOC and never returned the damaged one...... i'm gonna get that shot blasted and powder coated then make another kit up and see where we go from there to sell it

Yes the DSG does also have a dmf, but unlike a normal manual there is no clutch is mounted to the unit due to the gearbox having the 2 clutches already in the car.

Ok, well if you want a response, then i thought id try to inform you, bearing in mind i work for sachs as a warranty inspector, i think i could potentially help out the most Ok, so here goes...... DMF's have been installed onto almost every new diesel engined car on the market over the past 5-10 yrs. Due to the performance these newer diesels give they produce much higher engine harmonics due to the stronger power pulses when the fuel is compressed and ignited. How to destroy a dmf is simple, and this can be caused through numerous different things, alot of which have already been said but just to confirm *Driving in too high a gear at low engine rpm, this will cause the dmf to work to its maximum designed tolerances, making it bounce from one travel stop to the other.... this will also screw up the torsion damper on the driven plate ( kind of the same principle a dmf has which is to dampen out the power pulses produced from the engine) *Doing agressive launches, when i had my hybrid'd ibiza fr tdi, this still ran the dmf, i knew from working for sachs that unless the car was going to be a track day toy then the dmf needed to stay. If you take away all that damping the dmf does, and replace it for a SMF where is all the vibration going to go? gearbox maybe? and you can guarantee that a fu*ked gearbox will cost more than a DMF. Anyways, hard launches are not advisable, i did it and it was fine up until i wrote it off at 25k miles, this included at least 20 launches at santa pod, inc 1x 2nd gear launch. * Heat is another thing that can kill these DMF's. If you cook the clutch, and completely burn it out, then the chances are that the DMF will be fooked too. Heat dessipation that is transferred into the dmf from the clutch could potentially cook the grease inside the dmf. I did a claim yesterday on a merc sprinter 311cdi, this had been in 3 weeks, done under 1k miles and the thing was scrap. The whole unit had been exposed to extreame heat from the clutch slipping. *If the internal parts in the dmf break up, then they could and will punch a whole in the rear of the dmf, sending all this nice black tar like grease spewing all around the bell housing of the gear box. For those of you who are curious as to how the dmf works, see this link here If any one has any more questions they need answering please dont hesitate to ask. Regards Daniel

Ome good pics and video's in there matey.... looking at them makes me want to go back again.......

ok, ill get a thread started tonight after work, then see how things go.....

So is anyone going to arrange a meet? or shall i try to do one in coventry instead?

Its a shame this is on a monday as i may have been tempted to do it..... been there in November in my cupra with SCN and it was absolutly fantastic..... if anyone gets the chance to do Cadwell id deffo recomend it as its an awsome track

Why not make one in Coventry then? im from rugby and when i used to be on SCN we would organise a meet in the summer at Coombe Abbey or if it was wet we would go to a Brewers Fayre just off Jct2 of the m6 near the Showcase Cinema..... anyone interested in doing one there?

some 4 wheel drifting going on then told my mate to go out in his R32 yesterday for a play in the snow..... he wasnt having any of it though lol, what a gay :p
