ECS clutch bleeder block?

[gazbutS3]

Anybody tried this, I get a slight leak from my standard unit only on trackdays, must be when the fluid gets really warm, was thinking of changing it to this part rather than buying another std 1, anybody any thoughts??

I'm going to order one of these on Monday.  I will let you know how I get on.  The standard part won't be much cheaper so its always worth upgrading to a better part.

I'm going to see if my old buddies at ecs can send me one direct.

Comes to about £65 if you order direct.  I think I can wait a couple of weeks!

Easy to fit.  Then just needs the clutch bleeding.

Still not in stock with Awesome.  Looking at another 2 weeks.

hi alex, would this part be any use to helping cure my slow to return clutch?

[gazbutS3]

 Alex fitted this on my car when he swapped the gearbox, he commented that the fit wasn't great as the body of it needs to be fettled as it was fouling the gearbox casing. It's been fitted for about 5k now and the only comment I can make is it has cured the leak I used get on track days

Removing the internal restrictor does the same job and at no cost.

Your fault may also be a fooked clutch line.

Try the free mod first.

I installed one in my car, seems OK and we pressure tested it to 2 bar on the car with no leaks. One side was a little tight so I had to run a drill down the initial larger bore opening that slides over the clutch bearing arm to de-burr it and also it was fouling the bell housing slightly and making it sit at an angle so some grinding was done on it to get it to sit straight (The origional one has a round profile this one is square).

Apart from that it went on fine and the clutch seems to have a better feel to it. Relatively cheap and a recommended upgrade but I do feel that a bit more effort could of gone into the design so it fitted better as they could of machined a couple of mm off the sides to get it sitting better without effecting its strength.
