Agreed. The clutch disk is likely worn. The pressure plate is self adjusting so there is no adjustment available on stock Audi pressure plates or indeed in most pressure plates.
Another possible cause is a leaking rear main engine seal that is allowing engine oil to seep and then be thrown around the bell housing and work its way onto the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate.
Test you clutch in 3-4 gear acceleration from a slow speed...if the engine speed flares faster than the car accelerates, you have a worn/bad clutch.
Bad clutch, or more likely needs adjustment to allow more pressure on the mating surfaces. Diesel has more torque and increases load on the clutch. If you have recently had it repaired, take it back. It's possible the wrong clutch plate was installed.
