Default Follow up on Clutch issue

After asking around here about the clutch pedal being very difficult to push during fast shifting, brought the car in to the dealer.

There is a known problem with the vaccuum line (or somethig to that effect). The dealer (IRA in Boston) had sold two RS4's and both of them had this issue.

Needless to say, they had the replacement part ready. I believe they also said that it is a problem that can affect all RS4s.

Would be great to have the TSB number if one exists. I have this issue.

The RS4 doesn't have a boosted clutch like a brake pedal does it?

Default My car is help at port due to a hose issue...

my dealer told me Audi was flying in hoses next week. This vacume line issue is all I've heard about. Do you guys think this is it or has there been another hose/line issue?
