GTI DSG Shudder
« on: 04 October 2010, 17:38 »
Only had the car 4 days and i've never had a DSG before. The shifts are generally amazing and smooth but i'm not a 100% that all is well with my 1st gear engagement from standstill and also when coming to a halt. On both occasions just as you pull away and just as you come to a halt there is fairly minor but noticeable shudder. The best comparison i can give to a manual gerabox is when the clutch bites as you pull away and there is a shudder if the clutch feels on its way out.

I'd be surprised if the DSG first gear clutch is on its way out afer 7600 miles so I looked around the web and it seems it could simply be a VAGCOM reset required or even a Mechatronics unit. I'll be booking into VW next week but i'd like to be informed with some tech ammunition so they take me seriously. I have to say otherwise the gearbox is flawless.

Any ideas?

Mechatronic unit over heating, its ether a new unit or gearbox under warrenty though Thank F***.
They may need to order one in for you, in the mean time get a loan car from the dealer? Big bucks if its a new gear box warrenty of course!!
