Mine now booked in for earliest date of July 11th, 10am.
90 mins for them to check if it needs to be replaced at Audi Watford, but they have wifi so I'll take the laptop and work from there.
Either the clutch, flywheel or possibly a driveshaft issue.
Difficult to tell without seeing it unfortunately.

This or a DIY as quite straightforward. Look at YouTube videos to get a better idea and help you gauge how much you should be charged if getting quotes.
The long trips to Liverpool and back from London filled with my daughters 'studenty' bits made me realise how weak my rear shocks were, along with when braking from speed the rumbling my rear discs were making so I replaced them this weekend. Not a difficult job compared to some I've now done...
I finally got round to replacing the wastegate whilst it's on the car and although the removal wasn't too bad, probably about an 75 mins, but replacement OMFG.
I started at about 2pm yesterday and finished at.... wait for it.... 8.30 this morning. I had to stop at 10.15 last night as I was...

You're right about those aluminium particles, they got everywhere.
And yep, if I had a dishwasher and used it for engine parts I'd be living...
I've been opening up the throttle body and have stopped now as I don't think there is anymore to be gained taking of any more material.
It does appear to rev more freely and the economy has improved slightly.
I want to port the inlet side of the turbo next still using the power drill and flap...
