The clutch on my 2006 vw Jetta tdi has started to fail. The car has 43,000 highway miles on it. I have read several complaints on the clutch failing on 2006's due to not being built heavy enough to withstand the additional torque of the new tdi engine. Lujak's vw in davenport, IA told me the repair would cost $1300 to $2500 and that generally speaking vw will not warranty this problem after 12,000 miles.
Clutch flywheel problems with my 2006 Jetta tdi. Left me stranded on highway with only 41 k miles on it. The vehicle is in the shop and under review. I'm concerned over the number of clutch failures at such low mileage. I am very gentle with my clutch.
The clutch on my husbands 2006 Jetta tdi is going out. It only has 44, 000 miles on it.

: the contact stated while driving 50mph and approaching a yield, the clutch was depressed. The clutch stuck to the floor of the vehicle causing the vehicle to loose all transmission function. The vehicle coasted to the side of the road and was towed to the dealer. The dealer determined the transmission failure was due to driver error. The vehicle was then towed to an independent repair shop for further inspection. The repair shop personnel determined the flywheel had broken causing the clutch pressure plate to break. The manufacturer was alerted and no repairs were made.
