While perusing the December Road and Track, I came across one of the Tech Correspondence (pg 120) questions about a sticky Audi TT clutch. The R/T response was to replace the brake fluid in the clutch system. R/T claims that the fluid quickly becomes water saturated and the water eventually settles at the level of the slave cylinder leading to failure. I'm not sure if this applies to us as well, but it's certainly food for thought.
