Whilst I understand the reasoning behind using the extended slave, and clearly have plenty of testimonials in this thread that show it fixes the issue, I always come back to the same question that I can’t seem to get an answer to no matter who I ask or which thread I read:

Why did this issue not exist prior to Audi replacing my clutch?

I never had the issue in the 50k+ miles I drove my A5, from 55k to 105k miles. I took it to Audi and had a new OEM clutch + DMF put back in and Audi gave me back the car with this issue. I can’t get my head round WHY. What changed?!

Don't have the answer for you, however, I can tell you that extended slave rod is the permanent fix.
