Pressure Plates in the Clutch
My S4 has 12,000 miles and the pressure plates in the clutch broke leaving the car undrivable. The dealership paid the $2,500 to put in a new clutch; apparently this is common on the new model. Anyone know anything about this?
Per the 4 year warrenty, you are only due one free replacement clutch which is bs for me considering the low miles on the car and I don't drive like a sucka!

Never heard of a pressure plate going yet...that's new to me.
The free clutch should be due to wear though, not because of a defect. Basically, this one should be warranty and not be part of the Audi Advantage program.

BTW That should not be your free clutch replacement.....
Mechanical failure of other parts which cause the clutch to go are covered under warrenty. If a hydrolic line was to do it would be just the same as what happend to you.
