Anyone had problems with the clutch slipping on Audi A3 TDI whilst accelerating in higher gears. Mine recently seemed to slip whilst accelerating in 4th gear.

Wondering if this is a common problem and whether it means the clutch is on its way out.

 

Doesn't surprise me. After all the torque that your engine makes, its weakest point is the clutch. I had a 1.9L TDI that I had to replace the clutch after 60k miles due to my mods. Just a chip threw it over the edge. Upgrade the clutch and you won't have the problem again.


Cheers!
