C4S clutch life

[DBC4S]

I purchased a 2004 c4s a year ago, and have now put 10,000 miles on the car, so it now shows 61,000 miles. The clutch started slipping under hard acceleration, and is being replaced. When my mechanic pulled the transmission he called me to look at the clutch which appears to have been replaced once already. My question is: what is the average clutch life of a c4s? Also does everybody replace the dual clutch flywheel every time?

Thanks for the input. I baught the car from the origional owner from Burbank California, it was a woman, ( not saying women can't drive) but my experience has been, ride the clutch for sure, and in a crowded city like LA more than likley with all the stop and go traffic. I replaced everything fearing that it was improperly done last time, and in a hope that it will last longer this time.

It seems what it boils down to is, if you want to play your going to pay. The harder you drive it, the less life you get out of the clutch, makes sence.
