 What is it with the clutch on the mk5? Mine's not got long left on it either and it's only done 16,000 miles :mad:.
I've got two months of warranty left, so I'm treating my clutch like the bitch it is to try and get it to go before then.

 ^^That's not good news. :sad: When I phoned my local dealers to tell them it was going they seemed to think it would be no problem to get it done under warranty? I hope they're not  bs'ing over the phone just to try and hit me with a bill when I take her in. :fighting:

my dealer told me that my clutch wasnt covered under warranty - may have got that wrong though - and that was when i was just going through what was covered - he thought i had a manual so different case for DSG most probably
