Clutch slipping AGAIN!!! (Not my problem anymore)

[Bondiblu]

My TDI Sport 130 had a standard clutch replacement and DMF about 3/4 months ago, possibly 4k on the clock since. The car is standard and not mapped, but lately noticed a bit of slip and vibration from the clutch AGAIN (in 4th, 5th & 6th).

The work was done by a reputable VAG specialist and cost a small fortune. I don't rag it all the time, and I know not to "floor it" at low revs, ANY idea's?

I haven't contacted them yet. I will do so, once I have a little more "ammunition".

Could be that you have an oil seal gone and it is causing oil to contaminate the clutch and make it slip?

Yea, I suppose it could be a contaminated disk, or maybe its a low quality/faulty pressure plate?? I would assume there is no adjustment being hydraulic, and it seems to engage /dis-engage fine.

Its under gaurantee, just take it back

It won't be covered if it's contaminated but as said it will be covered for a year or 20k miles so take it back and keep your fingers crossed.

Well the problem is now solved (for me lol), a spur of the moment decision and now a 56 plate Cupra TDI on the drive, it's awesome.

Ha Ha no worries, it's gone now anyway, and may of had something to do with the 111k on the clock, it just kept costing me loads, so bye bye, and hello to the "New Beast"
