I bought a used 2009yAudi A4 from Isaac Agnew in Belfast 7 weeks ago. It is the 2.0 TDI saloon, and I have put approximately 2000 miles on it. It had 10,500 miles done when I bought it, and was a Demo model sourced by Audi UK. It also had 2 tyres replaced also when I bought it. Last week, while driving back to DUblin the clutch suddenly went, without any prior signs of slipping.
It was brought to Park Motors Service Dept. They state that the clutch shows signs of burning and that it will not be claimed on warranty but they will send off a report anyway just on the off chance. I informed Isaac Agnew in Belfast, who are holding on saying anything until a decision is made on the clutch by VW Ireland Group.
I've never had any mechanical problems on any of my previous car, have no penalty points, convictions or endorsements on my licence. The car was nursed to and from work by me when i had it, definitely not abused.
Any advice on how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated, I get the feeling that I am going to be asked to pay for the work done in the likely event that VW Ireland do not cover it on warranty.
