you will notice it and it will feel better
Is that kit for the 30V or 12V? I wasn't sure from your response.

As I mentioned in my previous post, are these clutch pedals normally this soft? I don't want to keep working towards a firmer pedal if one doesn't exist. What I do know is with the car in first gear and the pedal fully depressed, when you turn the key the car moves as if locked in gear. If the clutch was worn out wouldn't the opposite happen? I would think you'd be able to hear/feel the clutch slipping. Again, this hydraulic clutch system is still foriegn to me. The learning curve is pretty steep right now. If only there were some "backyard" checks that could confirm clutch worn vs slave cylinder malfunction. I wouldn't prescribe putting the car in gear and using the starter to move it too often as it puts a terrific load on the starter. But you get the idea. Thanks.
As a general rule I'd say the "feel" of every car I've ever driven with a hydraulically actuated clutch could be described as "soft".

30v and 1.8T - there are no 12v ECU upgrades.

Start by bleeding your slave. If he didn't bleed it after the install then there's your problem. Also it's the most simple solution, cheapest and fastest. "All you need is a buddy with a working foot." - The Devil

My advice is wear eye protection and some gloves.
