What problems exactly are you talking about? tried a search but didn't get "correct matches"

Thanks TX.

This is something I've also noticed (the gritty part), and always thought it was normal. I actually took it to the dealer and asked one of the technicians to look at it and he told me he didn't find anything unusual.
Too bad there isn't any TSB we could point to cause. I'm sick of the expression "the customer is always wrong" at the dealerships.

My baby just came back from a 3 week vacation at the dealership. Long story short, Audi replaced the throwout bearing, clutch plate, and pressure plate. The technician said that the throwout bearing had collapsed, and pieces of it were in between the clutch and pressure plates, causing bad wear and heat marks. It's perfect now.

Glad to hear it all worked out for you, and thanks for sharing
TX I haven't seen you post anything on the subject... have you had any problems with this?
