a3 clutch click sound ...
I have an audi A3 with 3800 miles. Just started noticing a clicking
sound whenever I engage the clutch. There is a distinct single click
when the clutch is passing the friction point. I can turn off the
engine, press the clutch, and hear the sound on releasing the clutch.
What can it be? It it something that needs immediate attention?
Thanks!

Probably not a failing throw-out bearing with such a new car so you
might want to check to see if the cruise control switch that is operated
by the clutch pedal is sticking a bit.

How do I check if the cruise control switch is the issue, and what are
some other symptoms
of a failing throw-out bearing I can look out for?

could also be the pedal return spring, one or other end clicking on its
retainer.
