A4 1.8T Clutch gone again?!
Discussion
Hi guys, I've posted before about this - I believe the clutch first went at 24k and was replaced under warranty along with the flywheel... well, it has failed again, this time we have no warranty and we're wondering what to do. The car is a 55 A4 Cabrio Sport - it has done 41k
Firstly, is it a hydraulic clutch or cable?? I am thinking the former but a quick glance at the engine bay (its bloody cold) didnt seem to show a clutch fluid reservoir?? Perhaps I've missed it...
Second, does anyone know of any Audi INDEPENDANTS in the midlands area, preferably Birmingham. We've run out of faith for the dealer network/ do not wish to pay their ridiculously high prices.
Finally, is this reasonable??? Even our Cerbera doesnt go through this many clutches - and it gets driven *hard* with several full bore starts most weekends (it is sprinted/hillclimbed) - we've not had a problem with the clutch on *any* other car, so I am pretty sure that Mums driving isnt too harsh on them? It is mainly inner city driving, but that is the same for all of our cars???
