    i drive an 05 audi a3 1.9tdi and ive noticed that if i take off on hills especially when the engines cold that the car shudders as if its about to stall... im guessing the clutch is on its last legs?. does anyone know how much i can expect to pay for a job like this and would a flywheel need to be done too?...

    You'd be lucky to get away with 1k for the flywheel only (if it is a dual-mass flywheel which it probably is in a diesel). Clutch is relatively cheap seeing as the gearbox has to come off anyway.


    I'd check otto.ie for the parts as they often have the OEM part at half the dealer price.

    Autos generally don't have DMFs, what year is it?

    Ah, it's a DSG so. Could be the DMF, could be the autobox going. Get to the VW garage before your warranty runs out!
