clutch

[surf-rider19]

My 2002 Audi A4 had a new clutch fitted at 33,000 under warranty.
It has gone again at 49,000 miles. ??????????????

I am facing a � 600.00 bill shortly.
I do not drive like James Dean and I do not ride the clutch. I drive an average milage, in a mix of motorway and urban.
I am fearful that in 15,000 to 20,000 the clutch will go again. Audi seem reluctant so far to consider there is an underlying problem with the car.

I am unsure what approach to take when I hear from them next.

I would welcome any advice.

when u last had your clutch done was there not a guarentee with the receipt or something to guarentee so many miles of wear and tear? maybe enquire to citizens advice to ask what to do about claiming for paying for inadequate materials or something along them lines as it has to be guarenteed to last a certain amount

Audi did guarantee the work for 6000 mls or 3 months. But this possible repeat of the problem is within the 3 year mechanical warranty. So I was assuming that it would be covered.

When the first repair was done the replaced the whole clutch housing complete. However I do not know what that involves.

Audi are currently completing their investigative work to identify a cause and probably a cost.
