Ok here is an update not having the car done at the garage i sent it to something just isnt adding up with them first off i was told i could pay by card now its only payment by bank transfer or cash and the original quote that was agreed was no more than £700 and this has now changed to just under £800 for the complete job. All these changes have happend since yesterday morning when price and payment method was agreed and they had collected the car. None of the work has be undertaken yet so i now have to travel 30miles from rossendale to wigan to pick my car up because they dont want to bring it back if they cant have the work and i now need to find a new garage to carry out the work who are going to be more reputable and honest. To be continued...

Hiya thanks for all your replies i have decided to bite the bullet and pay £700 to have a new clutch fitted with 2yrs parts and labour warrenty on it. I like the car too much to just consider it a write off. When i test drove the everything seemed to drive and do everything it was supposed to do. I guess i have just been a bit unlucky with the clutch going not long after owning the car. The car is being picked up this morning and taken to a clutch specialist in wigan and should be returned later this evening. I will keep you updated on the outcome and costs.

Hiya it has got 132,000 on the clock and i bought the car privately for £1750 cash. The car sounds awful on tick over and when driving it back home. I was really struggling to select gears whilst the car was running but am able to select them all easier without the engine running and there is also that strong burning smell you get when the clutch is going or has gone. I have been told that they do a solid flywheel conversion but cant find anywhere that do them unless they dont do them for my model.

Hi all i am marco i am new to the group. I have just bought an audi a4 carbriolet on an 03 plate it is the 2.4 v6 version with the bdv engine code and the clutch has gone after owning it for 3 days. So here is my problem if anyone can help or offer assistance. How easy or hard is it to remove and replace a clutch and dual flymass wheel if i was to attempt it myself and how time consuming is it? i have been quoted £550 for the parts and labour is an extra £250 if i was to have someone fit it for me but i am a bit hard up at the moment so would like to try and do it myself. Any help would be very much appreciated thanks
