Clutch TSB??

[Scott2.0]

My dad wants to join the Audi ranks and is looking at a 2006 2.0TQ 6MT. The carfax show the clutch was replaced only three months after going into service in 8/2006. The dealer claims it was done under a TSB but after searching I can't find any TSBs on the clutch. I also find it hard to believe that Audi would eat the clutch replacement cost even if it were faulty. I suspect the dealer is lying. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

Affected Vehicles

Clutch does not engage smoothly

Condition

The clutch does not engage smoothly after the vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. Cool, wet weather can contribute to this condition. After the clutch is engaged a few times, the light corrosion wears off and the clutch engages smoothly.

Technical Background

If the vehicle is parked for a period of time, light corrosion may form on the friction surfaces of the pressure plate and flywheel. When first driving away, this light corrosion can cause the clutch to not engage smoothly.

If the clutch slips, heat is generated on the clutch friction surfaces. If the clutch plate surface reaches a temperature over 300°C, the clutch fails to engage smoothly. As soon as the clutch cools down, it engages smoothly. This is also normal.

Production Solution

No change.

Service

Do not attempt to repair. This condition is normal.

Warranty

A warranty repair is not required. Claims will be debited.
