Have done 32k miles and still under warranty. After inspection and hearing the loud noise my local VW dealer has said it's the dualmass-flywheel and if the clutch has caused the problem to it then the fault is not covered by the warranty, as the clutch is only under warranty for 6 months. Can this be true, surely clutches don't wear out at such a low mileage? Is it worth me getting someone independent to also take a look, such as the AA? Has anyone else had a similar problem?

You could wear out a clutch in minutes if you wanted to. I believe it is only Mazda that covers clutches under warranty even if it's driver error.

Of course they may find a fault with the clutch due to manufacture. You have not got many options. This could be costly.
