Hey guys! i recently purchased a 2001 A4 quattro 1.8t5spd from a private party. the vehicle only has 83K on it, but the clutch engauges very high, unless this is normal for an audi, i beleive i need a new clutch. is the clutch mechanically adjustable, or is it automatically adjustable?

Does anyone know how much a clutch for these cars runs for? should i assume the position? lol

many thanks,
Dominick

 

Nope, you're probably fine. Audis have a very high engagement point. If you want to be sure, get up to around 35-40mph, put it in 5th, and floor it. If it's gonna slip, it'll slip then. If it doesn't, then you have nothing to worry about.

 

^ditto. tho i'd say you should be around 30mph and put it in 5th. it should bog if its fine, slip if its starting to go out

 

wow, thanks guys, this puts my mind at ease about the clutch. now i just need to do some brakes, wheels and tires, and some performance goodies! thanks for the quick responce

Many thanks,
Dominick
