I have owned it for 8 months, having bought from the Audi main dealer in Exeter with 15000 on the clock and 1 previous owner. I have done 5000 Miles in it.
Audi Exeter have today informed me that the pressure plate "is currently deformed as a result of overheating, We have also found that the dual mass flywheel is worn and also has heat spots present. This means that it hasn’t been a mechanical failure of the vehicle, this would be caused by an external influence."
They have told me that it isn't covered by the Audi warranty and it will cost me £2858 to have it repaired.
To say I am gobsmacked is an understatement as the AA man who recovered me said the clutch pedal going to the floor was a common problem and it is the clutch master cylinder rubbers normally.
Has anybody else experienced this, has anybody any suggestions, how long should a clutch last? This is quite unbelievable! The garage have said that I must have been riding the clutch or driving with my foot on the clutch, neither of which I do.
If the master cylinder rubbers were faulty is it possible that the pedal was not disingaging the clutch properly?
