Hi everyone, I will try and keep this short.
Audi A5, 2011, 3.0TDI, 6 Speed Manual
Had clutch + flywheel replaced by Audi.
Audi said I also needed gearbox replaced (at £5,500 just for the box, no chance, car is worth less than that!)
Took gearbox away to recon, too much work. (LPD gearbox).
Transmission specialist recommended s/h gearbox, (diff code, KMU, I didn't realise the difference until Audi pointed it out) which Audi very kindly agreed to fit as part of the clutch replacement (but have not guaranteed gearbox, only clutch).
Clutch would not register as being pressed until well past its normal range of motion and car would not start unless foot pressed extremely hard on clutch. (Didn't have this issue until I had clutch replaced).
Audi have said this is caused by gearbox bell housing being larger on the KMU gearbox than it is on the LPD.
Clutch hydraulic system just popped in Audi's service centre as I went to start it to take away. (I'm assuming slave maxed out before master sensor registered it was in correct position, so further travel for master was needed which overpressurized the system).
I guess my question is, is this caused by the gearbox I've provided or something else? Improper bleeding etc...
If the bell housing was larger on the refit gearbox, surely the slave would have further to travel, meaning the sensor on the master would be registering as clutch pressed whilst in reality clutch wasn't fully engaged at slave end?
Any help appreciated, and if anyone happens to have diagrams of a KMU and LPD gearbox I would be super grateful, as I want to know that Audi are telling the truth about the issue being to do with the gearbox and not the work they have done on the clutch.
Thanks
