Anyone changed there clutch & flywheel

Post by R88PER » Sat Jan 17, 2004 2:08 pm

Has anyone had there clutch and flywheel changed on there S3.

Mine has a really annoying "feel" to it. Its like a really light juddering through the clutch pedal. Not harsh but just enough to wind me up, especially when sat in traffic, crawling along. Its even worse when the cars cold, there just seems to be no positive bite.
I've had it into the dealers for a check up, but they told me theres nothing wrong with it.
Just wondered if anyone else has had any problems with theres.

Simon Elman has.
I'm sure he'll shed some light on the subject.

Cheers
