Clutch Issue on A1 1.4 TFSi 140 DSG

[KevinCamaro]

I've had the above car for 6 months now as a company car, great for me to do the motorway miles to client sites, not so good for family use. Car is currently with local dealer whilst they wait for a factory back order clutch pack for 1/3/5/7. Anybody else had this problem? Symptoms were jerkiness from standstill, clutch slip if accelerating under heavy load conditions, awful stink of burning clutch when going down long steep hills (letting the car do its thing with the gears).

I also hate the stop/start and turn it off every trip. How anybody thought that having the engine switch off every time you come to a halt with your foot on the brake (such as roundabouts, T junctions etc.) is sensible needs to think again. Why not have it activated by putting the 'box into neutral?

Hi all, thanks for the responses, I do understand why stop/start exists, it is just the daft way Audi do it on the DSG box. Hope to get mine back in a week or so.
