I had mine done also on a 190t it's not cheap. Clutch,flywheel,master cylinder use someone you trust is my only advice.

Might be the case since I think your peak torque will be around 4k rpm, which is when its most likely to slip.

To test this, find a nice empty, straight stretch of A road, put it a high gear at low-ish speed (so about 40mph in 5th or 45mph in 6th) and then floor it....

Keep an eye on the revs - if they climb at the same rate as the speed, then clutch is okay.... if the revs do little surges ahead and then drop back down to the normal levels, then clutch is slipping....

I am just in the middle of fitting a clutch to mine at present. The LUK kit for mine was £134 the DMF was done less than a year ago. garage quoted £650 for the lot on a 1.9TDI so yours may vary slightly from that in price. Job is straightforward DIY but you will need a transmission jack unless you are a body builder type. The gearbox is heavy. I wouldn't expect the price to be a £1000 unless you take it to Audi Main Dealers. If the clutch is slipping you should be able to smell it.
Edit
ECP list yours at £115 for the clutch and £334 for the dual mass flywheel.

4th/5th gear, hand brake on, then try to pull away, if the car stalls clutch is good, if it revs up clutch is ******
