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.

....I did write: "I stand to be corrected". I can't find anything about clutches in the GTI Service Handbook and I've never needed a new clutch in driving various cars over 40 years.
Does the DSG box of tricks have a Dual Mass Flywheel?

Starting to get quite concerned about this after looking through all of the information on the web it seems that the vast majority of people are having to end up paying for repairs....... really can't be doing with over a grands worth of repairs.

You really should have nothing to worry about, but it would be wise to contact VW customer service, at the same time it arrives at the dealer for repair, and tell them how disappointed you are that your clutch appears to have failed after so few miles, you dont need to kick up a fuss until and if, they claim its down to incorrect use. :smiley:
