Bought a 2002 Audi A4 cabriolet - 30k on the clock so I thought it would be a peach. The clutch was a bit spongy on the test drive but I was blinded
by the low milage and the fact that in every other way out was mint and top notch.
Paid 3k plus p/x my crappy old 3 series compact.
Took the new one to my long term local garage who said "clutch master cylinder" and I say "OK, sort it".

Two days later they say "we can't do it". They had it stripped down, hit a brick wall, apparently called Audi technical who said "we won't tell you how to do it"
so they put it all back together and now I'm back at square one.

Nice car, difficult to drive when the clutch pedal sticks to the floor, totally lost faith in my local garage and am now dreading
the cost of an Audi specialist or main dealer to get the repair done.

Now I feel like I've bought a money pit (and at my age I should know better)...

So all and any advice on how and where to get the clutch sorted MUCH appreciated.

I'm in Birmingham.

Best wishes
