Clutch return-pipe renewal - UPDATE

[AlexRS4]

Sachs, single mass is on my Christmas pressie list.

Careful. I'm still going through hell with them. Get it from a trusted supplier who can exchange defective parts with no hassle. Under no circumstances use SachsPerformance's site. My kit came with fitting problems and I'm two weeks into explaining and having them believe its possible with no exchange or replacement yet. Bought OEM so I can have my car back. ZF personnel is envolved but to no avail.

The car was brought in because of the pipe problem. Easy job.

flog it and let us know if it's cured

can you scan the invoice? (with personal data redacted obviously)

Afraid there is No invoice Arthur.
It was all done via warranty. The only paperwork that alluded to the issue... was indeed the bulletin itself (as per other thread).
Suffice to say the wording was exactly the same as we'd uncovered. (copy has now been kept with Dealership)

I've forwarded it to my dealer to schedule the work
I also am going to supply 3' x 1"ID reflective/thermal insulation for the hose and ask them to slip it on

That can't hurt, can it Arthur.
Good idea.

Good idea.

the hose runs within inches of the cats/exhaust
hopefully the new hose, new/dry fluid and a insulation will alleviate the issue
mine just started doing it at 60k so I'm hoping it's just hose wear/tear and wet fluid over time

Regarding the single mass flywheel... Just noticed the RS4 v8 FSI study guide has mention of the dual mass flywheel to protect the crankshaft... Any problems with the single mass/

just spoke to Audi, they will do under my CPO warranty
time to order the insulation
