Hey, yeah I did come to an outcome but it was bittersweet. It was the clutch and DMF, the clutch was worn and the DMF chewed to ****. Replaced both, cost was a shade under £1200 at an Audi specialist in north london. On the plus side it feels great!

Heh, no not at all. Maybe symptoms I didn't detect? Subtle ones? The clutch has quite a high biting point, the dealership said months ago this was a sign of the clutch being on the way out but there were no other symptoms, plus loads of people on here have said a high biting point is typical of...

So apparently the clutch is burnt out and damaged the flywheel, on the plus side he's managed to heavily discount the work so it won't be as ruinous as he originally quoted. My hands are tied really so I'm going ahead with it, but he said he'd keep the old bits so he could go over them with me...

Me too! Will garner more info when they next call

They said they'd have a better picture of what happened later today after opening everything up. Is it possible to diagnose a dead clutch without separating the box and the engine?

Hence my nerves. Do they have to show you the knackered parts? Can I ask? ******* frustrating

Regarding other things or could be, I guess you have to trust the garage doing the work?

I got a quote, it was 200 cheaper but by the time I'd got the car moved I would have chewed into that saving and I'd rather it was done by a marque specialist

Good! Yeah it's toppy, London based specialist, still cheaper than the stealership. To be honest I could shop around but the car is immobile and would be a right hassle, plus I really need it for Goodwood this weekend.

1.8T 190 quattro So the clutch pedal dropped to the floor on the weekend after absolutely no issues or signs with the car. I was hoping it would be a pedal/hydraulic issue, but specialists Russell Automotove Centre have said its the clutch. Shiiiiiiiit! Two things could happen now, 1) it's...

Contintental ContiSportContact5s all round on mine (1.8T 190 Quattro), sticky, assured, inoffensive sound, only put 500 miles on so not sure about wear but I don't buy for economy, I buy for performance and safety

Replaced rear footwell bulbs and wiper blades. No-brand to Bosch, only the best for my baby

Hey, I'm in Walthamstow, can you get me mates rates on a Revo ECU tune? ;)

They bleed???

What are the signs of warn engine mounts, and can you purchase uprated poly ones for increased response?

Replaced the sticky pads that hold the rear number plate on, went with 6mm ones so it sits nicely off the boot lid, a small touch but I like it. Clay bar and waxed it, thought I'd done a bad job after I'd finished but realised the trees in our street give off a fine mist of sap constantly, so...

Well Audi will charge £600 and they're usually about x2 the price of an independent, so that's not far off

They being the Audi dealership, who I'm aware manage to find a load of new issues, which I guess it part of the service, I don't have to peruse them (yet). There's 83,000 on the clock and I didn't give them the history so it's fair enough for them to ask about fluids and belts and stuff. Yeah...

Someone's nicked yer badge m8!

I knew this was the case when you leave it with a dealer but slightly annoyingly they've come back and said the clutch is on it's last legs, the front control arm bushes are starting to split, and the bonnet release cable's stopped working! It was fine when I left it with them. Are they easy to...
