The wife's car is currently in the Audi garage awaiting repair (new clutch) and I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with these clutches?

It is a 57plate with approx 25k miles which seems far too low to me. I have asked the question whether the new clutch will be under warranty - they came back and said it depends on whether a faulty part is found or whether it is down to driver error. Now i know my wife's female but her driving technique should not burn out a clutch that quickly surely? Neither myself or the wife has ever had clutch problems in previous cars.

Also any ideas (if they say it's not under warranty) how much this is gonna set me back?

fyi - £900+ for the clutch and an additional £250 for the flywheel!
Although they didn't find a defective part, the way it had completely burnt out appeared very strange and was done under warranty. Phew :)
