Thumbs up Clutch smell

I just dunno why when I stop during a traffic jam... after like 1-3 mins the smell of the clutch start to reek.

I installed a new clutch 2 weeks ago... do u think there's a specific problem?

Did you replace the flywheel at the same time? Sometimes you need to give it some time and a moderate break-in routine.

Aside from that, what brand of clutch did you get? If it's not a quality unit, that might be the culprit (eBay clutches are notorious for this in many other cars).

I got the clutch from Lebanon Audi Dealer... It must be the original clutch..

Now the smell is not reeking like before... but still im afraid of having a problem that results an exchange of the clutch once again

I use neutral in the traffic it reduces the smell and as i told u... it comes and goes quickly...

If im in a traffic it reek for like a minute.. when the car moves hundreds of meters... the smell goes quickly
