Heavy clutch on 2.4 SE - Any ideas on replacement cost?

Hi,

Recently bought 2.4 SE manual petrol. Clutch is heavy with high biting point (rest of car in such good nick for price which is why i bought)

Any experience on cost of clutch replacement? So far seen around £300 - 400 mark

Thanks

My 2.4 clutch is also high (but not heavy).I understand the high bite is usual for these.I wouldn't worry myself until it started slipping as I understand it's a mongrel of a job to replace them and you might as well do the flywheel while you're at it (so a bit of slip shouldn't hurt).Have heard as much as 2k(-1200 quid) to get the job done here in Australia but that being said , any work on Euro cars down here costs a bomb.(The clutch kit alone in Oz cost about 600 aussie bucks)

What do you mean by "Heavy" is the pedal stiff to operate?
What mileage?

Try GSF, I recently purchased a new clutch for my 2.8 quattro from them for £160. My clutch was also very hard to press down with a high biting point. It wasn't until the clutch was changed that it was discovered the old clutch was completely shot. I had experienced no slipping from the old clutch whatsoever. Just goes to show how good Audi's are. Once I drove the car with the new clutch it felt like a brand new car.
Hope this helps.
