GTD Engine Vibration at standstill

I know, I was jesting 😉

It will be because it's regenerating the DPF. The stop/start system won't be active while it's carrying out a regen. They can go a little lumpy, the fan may come on and the idle speed may also rise ever so slightly too.

My work van does exactly the same thing (67 plate VW T6).

I've noticed a few times (not all the time and not every day) that my 17 plate Mk7.5 GTD when I am sat at lights has a definite engine vibration - shaking the car.

It feels like a misfire? But I haven't noticed when i pull away that I am lacking power.

Anyone got any ideas?

It was in for a service last week and they didn't say anything (not that I expect they would, they spent their time making a lame video)

I asked about this very thing on the MK7 facebook page and it would appear we are not alone

Its as thought it does a wee wobble - i was told it was a DPF thing also and knowing other MK7's do it and now the MK7.5 i am quite at ease i have no issues with the car

Glad its not just me then Jeni!

Had it just now again... checked the info screen about start stop status... just says "engine must be running" (or similar) and then when I got home (about a mile later) the fan was blaring.... definitely its DPF regen.

Cheers folks!
