Inoperative clutch system due to hydraulic system leakage necessitated installing entire clutch assembly, new flywheel and related hydraulic components. I feel this failure was very premature with only 42,000 miles on this vehicle. Has this happened to any other Golf TDI (manual) clutch hydraulic systems? Is there a TSB on this system? Will VW help with my 800 plus dollars bill to repair my VW Golf?

Inoperative clutch system due to hydraulic system leakage requiring transmission removal. It was a defective Hydraulic throw-out bearing. I feel this failure was very premature with only 35,000 miles on this vehicle. Has this happened to any other Golf TDI (manual) clutch hydraulic systems?
I called VW help line asking for help they told me I will get no help from them. It was very difficult to even reach someone. I also wrote to the CEO of VW of North America asking for financial help with the $1425 bill. I am still waiting for his response.
