My clutch started stinking from last week. It smells as if something is burnt under the hood. <br>Today i was searching in the forum to see if anyone else had the same problem. Was surprised to see few more people with the same problem.<p>I had been to 3 dealers. Nobody could find the exact reason or fix other than that my car runs fine most of the times.<p>Is there somebody here who had this problem and got it fixed? is this a known problem with Audi clutches??<p>Can't believe myself that I spent 29k on a car that I don't feel confident to drive without breakdowns. :-((<p>Pratap<br>98 A4 1.8TQ (Cactus Green)

You may want to have the dealer check the clutch slave and master cylinders. They have found some to be leaking. I have not seen any to have caused a burning smeel but you never know. When the master or slave cylinders start leaking it will cause the clutch pedal to be loose or weak.

No i don't rest my leg on clutch or misuse it. <p>Actually when i went to dealer he asked me to drive it to see how I do. He saw me drive for more than half an hour. At another dealer, they drove it to if it smells. They also observed it.<p>Thanks and regards<br>pratap
