It's doesn't feel too stiff. I think modding the bleeder block doesn't help matters much. If it fails again time to go with a full Sachs kit.

Consider Clutchmasters and Southbend as well.

I'm running DKM STAGE 2 MB clutch kit, I got used to it by now... I did have Southbend as the previous setup.... I will most definitely go back to Southbend.... Not liking the DKM clutch but I got used to it... as a Pro stick shift driver, you end up getting used to it and manage.
For those debating between DKM or Southbend... pick Southbend.... unless you want DKM and know how it feels by driving someone elses MK6 with DKM installed.

hows the redline engine oil? better than Liqui Moly and MOTUL?

Love it, not sure how it compares to the other 2. Redline is a group 5 Ester based oil not sure if LM or Motul are. Is it better? Idk, any quality oil is going to be good but spec wise group 5 oils are the “best”.

I would consider Clutch Master. I thought about an FX250 or 300.
It feels fine to me Just firmer the engagement is awesome, but I haven't compared it to anything else in this platform.
Last time it went in for an alignment the tech loved the pedal feel. Mentions how smooth engagement and you could feel it .
I wouldn't say it feels bad it seems to be your take from your wording.
there TOB leaks it may have about a year and a half I didn't track milage. It seems common for the MK7 guys as well.
Replacing that before you began negates any money saved.
What don't you like and are you comparing it to a daily clutch from SB?

Installed a hatch pop kit from ECS. Was quite simple and our car comes with the remote already set to pop once installed. Added feature the lights do a funky routine when opening the hatch. I'm loving the mod !!
Oooooh what's the OBD11 coding for the hatch lights? I've got a pop kit sitting in the basement, was thinking about putting it on this weekend.

I personally didn't like the engagement at first (DKM STAGE 2 MB), but after several months, I got used to it.
It's not as forgiving (easy to slip clutch) as SBC's and I like SBC engagement point a lot better. I guess this is due to the fact I went from SBC to DKM... even tho DKM is rated for more power.
Yes I am comparing to a daily stage 2 SBC. I picked DKM because I wanted to try a different brand clutch and the price point is better than SBC.
I don't have the TOB leaking at all. I would've noticed.
Symptoms are brake fluid level drops and pedal sticks to the ground, right?
I'm trying my best to limit the amount of times I drive my MK6 because I want to keep the maintenance low as possible.
But it's soooo hard. A fun car to drive and shift gears in.

A WOT pull a day keeps the carbon away

LOL yes indeed!
I drive it every 3 - 5 days, I don't let it sit parked in my underground garage for more than 7-8 days MAX as it can cause problems.
I drive it when it's not raining. I try real hard to keep moisture away. Definitely not winter driven.

I found out MOTUL makes GROUP 5 (GROUP V) based motor oil. Not sure about LIQUI MOLY.

Time to leave LIQUI MOLY behind once I hit 200k KM, I'm at 193k KM now.... sad times..... feels like it was just yesterday I got the car at 90k KM in 2016.... time FLIES.
