Update: Today VW advised me that as "goodwill", they will pay for replacement of the clutch master cylinder (est $250 + tax), but they will offer no assistance on the pressure plate or clutch replacement.

While I am glad to get something, I would prefer to get help on the more expensive repairs. Also, I guessed that the master cylinder damage was the dealer's responsibility, not VW's. Perhaps VW has had other master cylinder failures?

It looks like I may have to eat the clutch & pressure plate ($1,100 + tax). I will send a letter to VW requesting more assistance, but I don't expect it will help. And I don't expect VW will get my business again either.
