2012 egs replacement clutch

[geoff]

I'm fully expecting a big bill at some point, after which she might understand.

 I've been there and it is most frustrating to say the least ! 

 My wife used to do this but wouldn't listen so I simply joined in with her bad practice ( when driving solo so she didn't see me doing it  ) in order to kill it as soon as possible .......... well I'd have the bill anyway and better to have it on just the one car than both of ours.

It worked as now she treats the clutch with ( some modest ) respect.

My first EGS was a Grand Picasso exclusive  C4 which took a bit getting use to but after a few days dove it with no problems  since then bought another GP4  exclusive,  I then bought a VW golf bluemotion with a 7speed ESG  which I must admit was ultra smooth but did not have a "Paddle" gear change. My daughter was so impressed with the ease of the ESG box she bought a VW  tiguan saying " why would anyone buy a manual after using a EGS box".  In the mean time my wife bought a Skoda Citigo again with a ESG  (I have to say the Skoda is such a great car to drive unbelievable amount of room for its size and giving around 69 mpg and turning a sixpence and super value for money ).  I bought a 2007 Berlingo Desire  till I could find a Top of the range Berlingo with a ESG which did take some time but I did find one with Modutop,  SatNav, Parking Sensors etc and has the " Paddles" which a find better and safer.
  I guess the bottom line is You need to drive a ESG for a day or so to appreciate it   but other than the EGS box I prefer my 2007  for more space
