B5.5 Heating/Climate Control

When my Climate Control is OFF I still get heat coming through the vents, depending what temp setting its on.

B5.5 1.8T Sport Clutch upgrade???

Think I might be needing a new clutch soon!

So as I have a remap to 200bhp was thinking I could do with a stronger clutch than standard
Any advice on what clutch I should go for?

Had car serviced on Saturday and they checked to codes and showed oil level sensor

If not is there a sensor on the engine?

Re: 1.8T Turbo type

I always thought that the B5.5 had the ko3s turbo as against the ko3 in the B5

Engine cutting out
