Is my clutch/DMF about to fail???

[massimo]

2017, 2.0TDi, 150bhp, Estate, Manual - driving yesterday, clutch is now slipping when accelerating (normal driving, not racing!!!). As I accelerate, the engine revs rise and you can hear the slippage....happens in any gear! No rattling or other noises present.

Mileage is 67000 and daily use, mostly motorways and a-roads, driven sensibly for work.

Question is, is it just the clutch or impending failure of the DMF?

I have had a quote for £1100 - includes Clutch kit, DMF, Clutch Slave Cylinder and labour.

Is this reasonable?

Yes. It's even sensible, if the DMF is failing, but there's no way of telling that except dropping the gearbox.

Not wanting to steal this thread, have the same car (model, year, engine) and I'm often getting a lot of shuddering when starting from still. I complained to the dealer but 1) they could not find anything 2) said even if they did it would never be a warranty issue, it's a wear part (despite the low mileage, driving conditions, etc). Is this something I can just live with or will it cause other issues? I have an 20 yo Opel astra estate, 1.4 petrol, almost 400.00 km, original clutch, smooth as butter....
