Default They'll do it... You'll have to pay for all the parts.

And at full value... they won't give you "trade in value" for what your S4 clutch would have cost.

So it's maybe $1K or so for parts (clutch plus pressure plate?)... but labor may be free if your original was under warranty.

Default I think the RS4 kit at AWE will work.

Default forget the RS4 setup.. get one of these..

This is the best clutch setup that I have done sofar for the S4.
I have driven just about every clutch out there for the S4.
IT IS FANTASTIC and has a light pedal
drivability is great smooth engagement with almost NO chattering.
I have one in Rami's Stage3 and Andrews Stage3
and I have a similar version in my GTI stage3
and another GTI stage3 (lots of ands)
and about 08 other VW's.
I made one for a A4 and it rocks also.
It is a duel face segmented kevlar disk with a reworked stock pressureplate.

The pedal pressure is just a bit more than stock
It won't give you leg cramps in traffic, and it grabs a LOT better than the organic disk.


Here is a picture of an A4 setup:

The facing is almost identical for the S4 except it has a larger diameter disk.

BLACK S4 Stage3
RED GTI (mine) Stage3
BLUE NB Stage3
LOTS!!
