I apologise for my language but this is the most frustrating thing I've ever been through with my car. I've got a 2005 golf gti.
If you all remember awhile ago I posted saying there was something wrong with my clutch, it wasnt retracting properly.. Well ended up been the slave cylinder as the car has done 100,000 I decided since the car yard was paying for that part and labour I may as well change the clutch also.. purchased a luk clutch for $385
Took it to get done, 4 days later I picked the car up drove fine for the first few hours then the pedal started sticking and twice when I excellerated the car made a horrible screaming noise after a few days it got much worse making the car jolt nearly bunny hop the day I was taking it back to the mechanic I was driving on a highway and I couldn't put the car into gear!!!! It wouldn't go! So I took it back to the mechanic he kept it for another 3 days and I picked it up 3 days ago and the clutch is still doing the same thing but I can feel the pedal is grinding also and it's really crunchy to put the car into gear!!! To top things off I was in a busy car park just then had the car in 1st gear and my foot flat on the clutch and it stalled - happened 3 times!!! And now it's SO HARD to put it into first gear!
Called the car yard told him that i want to take it to another mechanic and he basically said his done his bit and paid for it his not paying for anything else!
Car is still under dealer warranty also!
Thoughts? Advice?
