Hi guys, awesome site as always. ANyone know when you know if your clutch needs replacing? mines only done 42k, with hisutry etc. But the car seem to skae a lot wehn pulling off and reversing and feels like its going to cut out. Also it sometimes is difficult to get into gear especiallu reverse. Does this sound like a possiable clutch issue?#

Thanks in advance. And long live the A2!!

depends how much clutch the car was driven in 42k. Mine was a central London traffic sitter and my clutch was replaced at 47k and it had no meat left on the clutch plates. Obviously if you mostly cruise in 5th gear you're not going to need the clutch a lot. If clutch needs replacing it is most obvious when it slips. Mine was slipping in the higher rev range when changing from 1st to 2nd, later started doing in 3rd.
