piggies Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I bought a 3 year old A6 six months ago on 30k miles, 20k later and the clutch has started slipping. Contacted the dealer to be told the usual story of the clutch isn't actually covered by the warranty but one of the potential causes maybe covered. Catch is that it could cost me ~£700 to find out if the problem is covered by the warranty. The dealer then went on to say that at 50k miles is likely that it is the clutch thats gone. I can't believe the clutch life is only expected to last 50k miles - does anyone know if this is true? I don't know how the car was driven for the first 30k miles but I use the car to travel 200 motorway miles on Monday and the same back on a Friday. The car hardly ever gets used for stop start motoring so I probably use the clutch less than average. Any advise would be much appreciated.

grahamb Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Mine has 95K on it and is still going strong... And 3600 of those miles I've towed a trailer with a car on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd_W Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 clutch fitted. I think £700 sounds steep but I would DIY so what do I know? I had to fit a new one in my wife's A6 because of oil leaking from the rear crank seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
