Audi A4 Quattro Clutch

[Andy-H]

When I was looking into mine (looked into every option to avoid the inevitable  ) . A lot of owners said that the biting point on the A4 was quite high up the pedal, this made some people falsely diagnose a tired clutch but mine was doing the same as yours, would slip when it started boosting in the higher gears.

When we took the old clutch out it was very apparent that it needed to be replaced

Thanks again guys for all the replies.
What i can't get is the car has only done 52k, now audi clutches don't fail after 52k!? 
If either the master or slave cylinder was sticking then surely i would feel it through the pedal?
Also surely the clutch will slip if i try to pull away from standstill in a high gear?
Andy-H, have you got the same car then? 1.8T Quattro Sport?

At 52k it must have been alot of short journeys, in town which means the clutch gets used alot.

Probably both

The last one was fitted is invoiced as: 'Uprated/modified clutch & flywheel'

So I'm hoping it's now a single mass setup

Yep, mine's the same. Mine has done just over 100k, not checked through the history if it was the first one it's had or not. I have since uprated mine while I had it in bits (didn't want to do the job again in a hurry  )

you can kill a clutch on a quattro without much effort,   tow bars are good for killing them as well

Interesting that, my family have had a few quattros, never had a clutch go so quickly. Infact last 2 were on 170k miles+ still on original clutch.
However we've not used any of the cars for towing.
