Audi TTS Clutch Slipping at 20,000 miles

My 2009 Audi TTS Roadster has just turned 20,000 miles and I have noticed clutch slip - typically third and fourth gear under hard acceleration.

Is there a known (manual) clutch problem with the TTS? Given the low mileage and age of the car, have I got a case to ask Audi to pay some or all of the replacement work?

It will always be the case that the higher the performance of the car, the shorter the clutch life. Clutches on some Porsches and Nissan 350Zs only last 10,000 miles.

My car has done approx 40,000 miles. It drives okay in normal weather but in the heatwave with the air con on it struggled to go up slopes, especially if they were also around a corner. I am 80 and on...
The clutch is really tight on my 2014 Ford Fiesta. Is this normal?
How do you know when the clutch needs replacing?

As sharp a drive as the coupe version. Eye-catching looks and nice design details in the cabin. Good range of engines including economical TDI. Very few reported problems until emissions defeat scandal broke.
