Re: 97 A4 1.8T clutch problem

[Josh Pinkert <flush@us.net>]

This has been happening on my '98 A4 2.8q for a little while now.  It took
two visits to reproduce it for the dealer.  I'm getting a new clutch master
cylinder installed next Tuesday.  BTW, I was told that Audi has had this
problem reported before...and that's its very rare.  You may want to have
your service technician call Audi about it...
