Hi All !
New to in the forum, so apologies if I repeat something.
Actually I have the exact same problem with my '08 S5.
Clutch stucks and is always incosistent.
The fun part is the following :
1st time it happened, I brought the car to AUDI here in Greece and they replaced (within guarantee) the clutch pumps (2 if I recal), springs etc + the disk...
2nd time... the same...
3rd time... I received a call from the importer with news about my problem ! It is actualy pretty simple... Somehow this problem now is normal ! After they read me a technical text about the operation of the clutch, the text (coming from AUDI) concluded that this is a normal thing to happen due to forces and that everything goes back to normal after the system cools down !!!!!!!!!!!
I specificaly asked if the sugestion of AUDI is to stop on teh side of the road and let the 'system' cool, but ofcourse nobody could say yes, cause tehn they would be in a lot of trouble.
Finaly, I have today requested a written reply, which I will translate and post as soon as I get it (if I ever do !)
So to all of us S5 lovers : GET AUTO !!!
C u all !
