Has anyone had similar problems, the first time it gave me some warning and I was able to drive it to the dealer. This time it gave no warning and actualy gave up in my garage and it had to be towed to the dealer. I always leave the car in first gear while in the garage and has usual I cluthed and started the car while still in gear. I was schocked when the car lunged forward while
trying to start, fortunutely I also had my foot on the break and was able to stop the car before it hit the garage wall. I shut the car down and the clutch pedal never came back it stayed on the floor and could be moved back and forth as if it was completely free from the cluth. It felt like the cylinder failed and did not completely disengage the cluth, even though the pedal was completely depressed, anyway that's the way it felt to me. The car as been at the dealer for 8 days now, they tell me it is the slave cylinder again and it is back ordered. They still dont know when they will be able to get the part and finish the repairs.
Are there a lot of people out there having similar problem with this and if so does anybody know if Audi is doing anything about it. I would hate to be one of those people with a run away Audi story.
