how can they tell if its the DMF? Audi said that is wouldnt be covered under warranty but i have a friend who works there trying to sort it.
Im sure if i kick off they will replace it, got a quote of £650 for a genuine Audi clutch supplied and fitted by a local specialist which isnt bad.
Its a gamble.
I went down this route and had a local garage quote me £400 for a clutch for the Golf.
Seemed reasonable so I accepted and dropped the car off.
4 hours later got a call to say the gearbox was out and the DMF was found to be shagged.
The damper between the 2 plates had collapsed and the outside part could be rattled around by hand.
Seemingly this preveted corrected DMF/clutch alligment/contact and hence clutch slip under load.
The gearbox, nuts, bolts etc....went in the boot and the car was recovered to the local VW garage.
VW inspected the DMF and confirmed it was knackered, and it was covered under warranty.
Cost me £100 and £50 recovery cost but thankfully VW covered the new DMF and clutch.
The car was spot on after that.
The theory was that the DMF was knackered anyway and the extra torque generated by the remap highlighted the problematic DMD sooner.
Of course this may not be the case with your car but DMFs are a known weakness.
Good luck.
