Judder

[Ant1981]

If I put my foot down whilst releasing the clutch for a quick pull away, what would the juddering be that I can feel (usually once the clutch is fully released whilst giving it full throttle) through the steering wheel also? As it judders, it makes quite a banging sound too.

Flywheel Engine mounts

Don't think it's the engine mounts, as that would knock as the engine tries to move, rather than judder and would happen most of the time, such as hill starts.

When I first got my 1.8t I had a bit of judder like that (when pulling away) it was sorted when the MAF was changed and throttle body cleaned.  But as said before, could also be engine mounts

warped flywheel/worn clutch or as said engine mounts

how bad is the banging? you sure its not wheel hop?

[Ant1981]

Again, doubt it's engine mounts due to how it happens. Could be wheel hop actually, as when it's wet, I just screetch the tyres. Goes to show how sh!t these cars are if it's wheel hop. It should just burn the tyres like any decent car would.

[topher]

wheel hop is usually due to too much flex in the rear gearbox (dogbone) mount bushes

i fitted a powerflex poly bush when mine went, but good luck finding one at the moment.. the factory went up in flames a while back. It's almost up and running again but most places have sold all the remaining stock! R32 bushes can be used as an upgrade if you want a quick fix. Standard OEM replacement will probably do, but you always have to ask yourself.. if its broken, how can i improve it?

I asked this ages ago, still have it myself on my 1.8T, when letting the clutch pedal up on first gear pull away it judders like hell, not even aggresive pull aways either. Only does it in first, have to up the revs to counter it. I was thinking clutch/flywheel related, no other banging so def not the engine mounts.
