Transmission failure in Volkswagen Up

We own a Volkswagen Up manual which is 38 months old (just out of warranty) and has developed a clutch/gearbox problem. Does this seem premature? The car has covered 28000 miles.

Answered by Honest John

Up, Mii and Citigo have always had variable quality drivetrains, some requiring replacement gearboxes after only a few months. If all that has failed is the clutch Volkswagen will probably say that is down to you. If the gearbox has failed they will probably be more sympathetic.
