I've been driving my Audi A6 for over a decade, and the clutch plate needs replacement every 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers, depending largely on driving habits. I drive relatively smoothly, avoiding harsh clutch engagement, so last time I managed to stretch it to 170,000 km before replacement. However, frequent stop-and-go traffic in the city accelerates clutch wear, while highway driving allows for longer intervals. If gear shifting feels laborious or you hear grinding noises, it's a clear sign the plate is failing—get it fixed immediately to avoid damaging the flywheel and incurring higher costs. A friend of mine waited until complete slippage occurred, resulting in doubled repair bills. I recommend having mechanics inspect clutch condition during every 100,000 km maintenance—early prevention saves both hassle and money. While this car performs steadily, remember the clutch is a wear item that demands attention.
