Looking for any additional tips or things to do at the same time. Getting it all from ECS to save shipping and they have a great deal on the Stg1 clutch kit right now. I'm open to any other parts warehouse anyone knows is cheaper.
I need to replace my stock clutch plus do a bunch of other things like new LCA bushings, Brake/clutch fluid flush, ball joints. Here is what I plan on ordering:
- VW Stage 1 Clutch Kit (228mm) With Light Weight Steel ECS 14lbs Flywheel, 225-275hp ES#125 Free Shipping
VW clutch kit for your 1.8T, 2.0L, and TDI. Complete kit includes flywheel, pressure plate, disc and all hardware.
- x2 Super DOT4 Brake Fluid - 1 liter
- Interior Air Filter, (Cabin Filter)
- Motive Power Bleeder Catch Bottle Set
- Motive Power Bleeder
- OE Ball Joint, Right Side
- OE Ball Joint, Left Side
- ECS Heavy Duty/Urethane Control Arm Bushing Set
Comes with two Polyurethane bushings, two HD bushings & OEM hardware
- x3 Pentosin Lifetime Antifreeze (G12), Pink In Color, (1.5 Liters) ES#550
- Valve Stem Cap Set ES#4189
"VW" in blue/silver, Set of four
Anything else you guys would add to that list or recommend? Thanks guys.

ew, poly control arm bushings.... They put to much stress on your mounts...
Just get the TT/R32 bushings and be happy when they don't squeak at you.

unless that antifrees is premixed, I don;t think you are going to need 4.5 liters of it. Maybe the Mk4s are different, but mixed 50/50 that 9 liters of coolant, and this seems like a lot to me.

9 liters = 2.3 US gallons

I like to be prepared, and it's free shipping on those bottles.

x2 - ECS had the "heavy duty" but MJM has the TT/R32 which I will order from them instead.
on the recommendation - thanks.

Np, I installed the TT/R32 and they kick absolute ass.

When they finally decide to make one for the MKIV...
Otherwise I will need to make my own kit.
BTW I will have plenty of G12. I am willing to bet that I will have the most in Billings
