Default What's the consensus on break-in for a new clutch
Is it necessary or not?

If so, what are the do's and do not's?

Thanks,

Jerry D

Doing clutch at the same time seeing as how Audi is paying for the labour.

Default How can you avoid boost for 1000kms?
I had a new clutch put in w/ stage 3. I avoided launching for a while. Once the car is in gear the clutch isn't going to suffer if you're on the throttle or not.

So avoid hard shifting, don't launch, otherwise drive normal IMO

Default If my off a month ago didn't drain my bank account,
my unexpected clutch replacement certainly has.
