CLUTCH BITING POINT TOO HIGH

[shahabudeen]

Just had a new clutch fitted 300 miles ago from audi, biting point is slighlty lower than before but no difference in power. cost me £400. dont think it was worth it, coz gradually i think the biting point is going to end up as before

I have the same issue. Reccently bought a 2002 A4 1.8T and it was incredably difficult swapping driving styles from an '05 MG ZR 120 Trophy SE to this. The clutch biting point on the MG is so low down, kept over revving the audi till i got used to it.

I was also concerned as to whether the clutch was on the way out but it doesnt slip which is good enough for me!

I think its normal for the B6 though. Not to bad to change gear tho, easier than my ZR i think. Just depends how you drive. Ive got sports seats and sit quite low in the car so its nice not having to push the clutch in far.

I can change gear by only push the clutch pedal down by approx 10mm!

I seem to spend my whole drive concentrating on letting the last bit of the clutch out very s------l-------o--------w-------l--------y when changing gear so as not to give myself whiplash!

RUBBISH!

I thought my high biting point was a problem, so I've had the clutch replaced.

Luckilly , when they took the old one out they said "it's almost down to the rivets", so I'm glad I did it as I wouldn't have wanted it to totally wear out while I was driving it.
