Hi guys. I have been told to post on here regarding a product I am developing, which basically stops you having to press the clutch to start the engine.
I have already developed a similar product for the Mk5/6 VW Golf VAG platform ( it also works on Audi 8P A3/S3, Audi 8J TT/TTS/TTRS, VW Golf mk5+6, VW Scirocco mk3, VW EOS, VW Passat B6, Seat 1P Leon/Leon Cupra/Leon Cupra R, Leon K1 etc), which has taken off REALLY well (sold in excess of 220 of them). It was developed on these cars, because the thrust washers between the crank and block are a weak point, and pressing the clutch to start the engine causes premature wear, which can result in a replacement engine being needed.
Now, whilst this particular harness won't work on the A5/S5/RS5, I am 99.9% sure I can make the same product to fit, its just a case of using the correct connectors, and adapting the technology to suit. I am working closely with members of the A4/S4/RS4 B8/B8.5 community (it is the same harness), and they have been very accepting, and seems like it is a product people want!
What I want to know is, is it something you guys would be interested in? If there's no market, I won't bother with the R&D into it. I'm hoping there is a market though, because from what the person who suggested I write on here said, there is a known problem with the clutch master cylinder failing on the B8/B8.5's (so I assume the same with you guys?) which requires a new clutch to be fitted (I think!).
Price wise, I should be able to make them for the same £22 UK posted/£30 internationally posted as my existing setup.
Look forward to hearing your views
