New clutch kit on my 2000 Audi TT a year and 3 months ago. Thrust bearing (throw out bearing)noisy! Faulty workmanship or faulty parts? John.

Most clutch kits do not include a new throw out bearing as that is bought separately
most likely that the mechanic doing the job thought that if the bearing was included (around $25.0 aud) that he would not get the job or he ripped you off by not putting the new bearing in
could be the bearing as they do work hard and are mass produced and are known to fail early
a faulty bearing is shown by a tinny rattle when the clutch is engaged or a growl when the clutch is disengaged
if the noise goes when the clutch pedal is pressed slightly , it indicates that the bearing is rattling on the pressure plate fingers and there is a need to adjust the freeplay at he slave cylinder
.it is not necessarily a faulty bearing
