[alan_s3]

Sounds like the clutch is on its way out, they can get better when they warm up and the components expand a bit, how many miles has the car done?

 

[alan_s3]

its done 63,000 but when a got the car it was over revin when goin up the gears and it was the little box behinde the clutch it woz fookd but a dont knowhow long it was like that for b4 a got the car. a gave a couple of places a call the day and there just sayin master cylinder and slave cylinder but they ant realy sure and am no use a dont have a clue about cars lol

You might get more help if you used some punctuation!

It sounds like the clutch is wearing out to me. Clutch problems can come and go, but will get progressively worse over time, for sure.

cool thanks very much. just need to work out who to take it to audi want 1100 to do the clutch plus labour so see wot happins. Thanks again.

Audi are at it, specialist will do it for half that

Don't get it done at Audi, it's a complete rip off. If you've got a remap or are considering one, I recommend an uprated clutch. They are about £200 more than standard. I had mine done for £900 at an independent. Beats the £1100 quoted by Audi for standard!

 

[claudefrog]

id say 600 would see it done at an independant

 

[alan_s3]

audi are £222 for the standerd clutch but i am thinkin about gettin it re-mapd, do u guys think the standerd clutch would just go again if a never got it up-graded? a realy need to get it done asap, when pressin the clutch the pedal wasnt comin back up it was stickin half way so a had to bring it up to the top with my foot, wish a knew a bit about cars lol

That could be all sorts of problems, maybe its the clutch master cylinder...

 

[alan_s3]

foned an audi tech today and he sayd its the master cylinder so bought 1 tonight fingers crossd thanks again guys al let yous know when its fitted.:icon_thumright:

what was the total cost?

 

[alan_s3]

the master cylinder was £46 inc vat of audi and the fittin was £60 of my mate, the wee bit of pipe had just cracked and was leaking break fluid so it was sooking air in, had to take the dash of under the steering wheel lookd a bit of a fukr minde you, think a remap mite be coming soon fingers crossd,dont know where a would take it star performance miby.
