You're probably smelling the brakes...not the clutch;)

you kno i didnt even think of that!
your prob right now that i think of it.

i didnt think it would be possible to burn the clutches that easy haha

MK6 GTI - let me know how that awe exhaust is when you get it installed i need to decide between that one and the apr... not sure which to get

The DSG is a wet clutch submerged in oil, unless you were burning oil in it which i doubt i dont think the DSG could really smell. maybe Im wrong though. Ive driven my DSG mk6 pretty hard without much except the smell of burnt rubber and some new brakes.
