I wasn’t talking manufacturer’s warranty, but the warranty you get with garages fitting labour intensive parts, so you don’t have any redress if anything going pear shaped at any point. If you are happy to take the risk, then that fine.

You can kiss good bye to any warranty if you pay cash. 

Hi, I'm in Limerick Ireland with the same rattle on the A6 Avant dsg. Audi dealership have quoted for clutch service and new DMF 4,900 euro.

I will drive over to your guy tomorrow and save a couple of thousand.

Yeah I paid cash in hand for mine . Good mechanics have good word of mouth reviews.
