I have a 2005 A4 w/ 26K miles. Just recently the clutch pedal went to the floor and the clutch cannot engage naturally. The pedal does come back up but feels sloppy (loose). Audi mech says its not the slave because it comes back up. He said theres "plastic" parts in the clutch assembly that can wear due to heat. HUH??? Why put plastic parts that can fail due to heat in the assembly??

Anyway, this is not covered by warranty and its $2600 to fix the whole clutch! I feel is a faulty part. This car is brand new, how is it not a bad part?? This is my 3rd audi. My 97 A4 (which I still own) has 170K on the first clutch. My Jeep has 156K on the first clutch. I didnt "wear it out" as he said. So now its laid up at the dealer doing nothing.

Has anyone encountered this? Please offer advice. Thanks
