Had my clutch and DMF replaced earlier in the year and the clutch has started to slip. I’ve driven about 28k since clutch / DMF were replaced and I’m a bit cheesed off with having to replace the clutch already :aargh4:, I'm in discussions with the garage who carried out the work earlier in the year.


Car does 95% of it’ miles on dual carriageway / motorway and no I don’t have my foot resting on the clutch.

Anyone else had similar issues or thoughts?

It should all be under warranty so with a loaner car it's just a minor irritation

They don't have a loaner car (but I do have a spare which is a lot more fun ;))

Would prefer not to name.

Narrow it down a bit, Audi or independent/specialist? Going by no loaner car then I can't see it being Audi?

A full tank and a wash as a goodwill gesture!

Work being carried out early next week to my satisfaction.

Interested to hear of the 'life' of clutches though, or are they being changed at circa 80k when (we all know) the DMF fails?
