I just bought a 2005 A4 Quattro. I babied it for 1100 miles for the break-in period. At 1400 miles I shifted as the car was going 60 mph and the clutch no longer worked.
Anyone have similar problems?
The service manager told me on the phone that I had to have abused the car since he has never seen a clutch problem. Quite a shock to have the car break and then be falsely accused. A service rep looked at my tires and stated that it was obvious to him the car had not been abused.
Anyone?

 

It takes alot of abuse to destroy a clutch(belive me). The problem prolly is your actaul clutch pedal to the clutch plate itself.

 

sounds like the bearing in your clutch wasn't set right.... it should be a simple fix. I had a similar problem with my mustang where the clutch wasn't installed correctly to begin w/and it gave me bad responses.

 

Well that's just the biggest pile of **** I've ever heard. I'd be absolutely pissed at that Service Manager! I woulda called Audi on his ***! What a jackass!

You're completely under warranty..tell him to #$%& himself and fix your car!

Stuff like this just urks me!![:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

tell the manger to shove it, he is proberly trying to rip u off like most mangers, is it under warrenty??

 

Yes, it is under warranty. But they claim that any additional clutch problems not will be covered. Welcome to Audi.

 

Take it to another audi dealer

 

That's a load. Make sure you speak to your regional Audi service rep on that. I'd find a new dealer too. How close is the next dealer to you?
