Question bout clutch and launching
Ok, so I rev it out to like 4k and dump the clutch, but the car doesnt go anywhere, I mean, the revs just go higher and higher, and I have to let of gas to start moving. Now if I do this and slowly but quickly let off clutch everything is fine.
Is this the sign of a slipping clutch? Anything to get replaced?

If it's only slipping on bad aggressive launches, don't bother.
And they may not warranty it witht he chip.
My clutch has taken many hard launches (and slips) and it still works fine.
when it starts slipping in gear, than worry.

yes you can... if it slips in 4th or 5th gear. if the rpm's rise without an increase in accleration
on the highway in 4th or 5th gear, then take it in and tell em that's what it does. Until then, most dealers will not warranty the clutch. In addition, attempting to get a clutch replaced a second time under warranty w/o some sort of screwed up install or defective part on the first clutch is a HUGE red flag for audi warranty verification. Expect your claim to be thoroughly investigated if you attempt to have the clutch replaced a second time under warranty.
