Cheers for the heads up on the signature RR, much obliged.

....You should be able to get your car piggy-backed to the dealer under VW Assist under warranty.
No prob on the sig, shall I send that Harley chick over to give you a good seeing-to for your error? :evilgrin:
I was also given a baseball cap with it embroidered on while over there - It's a great saying imo.

I'm sure too, that you'll get this sorted under warranty
As Top Cat says, problems with the dual mass flywheel clutches are not unheard of by any means on Golf Mk V's.
Googling "golf mk 5 dual mass clutch problem"
brings up quite a few similar stories :scared:
Print a few off and take them to your dealer as backup, just in case :happy2:

Cheers for all the info chaps, will take it down to them tomorrow and get onto the phone to customer care.
Just wouldn't expect this sort of thing to happen to a 20K+ plus car which is over a year old, thats the most frustrating thing about it.

JonnyG:
Good luck ... and let us know how you get on :happy2:

In other words, it should last well over 100k miles. But I stand to be corrected and how an individual driver uses the clutch will be a factor.

Arf?
I thought clutches were one of those things that you replaced as they wore out? Like tyres? On my fiesta I replaced the clutch at 80k miles.
