new clutch hard to press

had a new clutch and flywheel fitted at main agents 4000mls ago and it seems to be getting very heavy to press,compared to any new car i have drove its 4 times heavier.the dealer said it would bed in when i pointed it out the day it was done but getting worse not better,in traffic on the motorway its a nightmare.causing me problems with my knee its that bad,no judder just very very heavy.
anyone have a manual who can comment.

That can happen with a reconditioned clutch compared to a new one. Either way, if it's too heavy, take it back as it's a faulty clutch. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Hi sparkybaz,
We have a manual 2007 2.2 diesel FL2 and had the clutch & fly wheel changed along with a service, timing belt and water pump back in early August this year whilst visiting family in the UK at this place http://www.mja4x4.com. They did a great job and much cheaper than it would have been over here, that was about 8000KM ago and the clutch has never been heavy at all.

I would advise taking it back to the place you had it done and get them to drive it to experience it and get them to investigate and fix it.
Good luck,
Mick
