RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Audi want Money for warranty work

They charged for labour to recoup some of the cost that was not covered under warranty, all parts were replaced under warranty, all labour connected to the job was under warranty. The additional cost of labour was not connected to the gearbox fault hence why i paid it. The car now runs smooth withou...

The clutch is around 240 for an Original part. It's much easier to replace when the engines out saving you many hours of labour. Probably take 1.5 hrs total once engines out.I know this as I've seen it done on a b7 rs4 having a stage 2 fitted
