It sounds like they have no idea what the is and they want to play pin the tail on the donkey with my car, and cover the cost by charging me for a new clutch.
The throw out bearing doesn't do anything with the clutch out.
Sounds like a coil pack or plug. With a VCDS you can record misfires while driving. That could tell you where to look. I've had a plug fail. There was carbon tracking down the insulator.
How many miles did you have when this happened?
It started around 19K miles.
Fed - you'd think they would check something easy like the plugs and coils before deciding the transmission needs to come out for "inspection". Makes no sense.
This is Gunther in Plantation, BTW.
Car has been at the dealer for a week now. No word from them yet.
I think I am getting worried.
Not a good sign if they know so little about the car that it takes a week to diagnose and fix a problem.
