Have a 2009 Audi A3 Sportback with DSG gear box. Petrol 1.6 engine.

While driving today for less than 0.4 miles from cold start (home), suddenly a warning popped up on the dashboard saying - "Clutch Overheating - Please turn off engine". I stopped the car about 40 meters post the warning light and kept it switched off for a good 1 hour. Tried starting it, engine starts, but car doesn't move. All other functions work except the clutch engagement. 

Call the breakdown folks, who ran a diagnostics and said something was tripping off the gearbox fuse and he towed it away to a specialist garage, yet to hear from them. I have seen a recall which deals with very similar issue, call up Audi who say my model is not affected. Please advise as i think the warning and the recall are very related. I did have a gearbox oil change last year as a part of another recall. I do not have the funds to get this fixed.

RECALL DETAILS WHICH AUDI SAYS DO NOT APPLY TO MY CAR -

 

I have the same issue with my 2012 audi a3 1.6, could please let me know if you found and the issue and if you managed to get it repaired. Saso

Musty.
