DSG Shudder

[Gavrobb]

Apologies if I'm missing this one on here somewhere but our T6 has, this week, developed a fair old shudder when pulling off - wondering if this is a known issue at all? It's just struggling to get traction through the clutch(es) at low revs, slow speed pulling away and even up to speed and changing in to 2nd.

It's going in to the garage for a check up Monday ahead of a big trip, I'll report back for sure but just curious on any other experience out there? Been flawless to date.

I get a shudder in my T5 manual when its damp sometimes, very annoying but not constant.

no issue here.

Is this related to the recent product enhancement/recall on some 2016 T6 California ?
See thread on link below
Strongly suggest anyone heading abroad/big trip planned ,checks if their cali is due this update.

I keep my manual in the glove box so it has no room to shudder!

I will be interested as to the result of the check up. Please let us know.

Mine has behaved impeccably so cannot advise anything.

I shudder when I try to read the manual!

I've not heard of a DSG shudder issue.

Get that checked out Matt, my last T5.1 kombi started doing that.
Luckily got it sorted b4 the warranty ran out, it was the dual mass flywheel.
If it is on the way out try reversing up a slope, it will judder if on its way out.

Interesting one on the recall - it's pushed me to persevere despite the issue disappearing today after a couple of days. 'shudder' - I perhaps should have been cleareris more of a hunting of the engine to progress - feels partly like a clutch issue and partly like a low power at low revs issue. So could well be linked to some of the valve issues mentioned in the attached thread. One for a check over I think for sure ahead of a big trip so I'll be sure and report back Monday.
Thanks for the support (as always)

Nothing picked up then was the result - no error logs. Did the ECU update and all seems to be fine (was intermittent before) Will see and report back on this thread if anything changes.

Hi @Gavrobb, are there any further development to report regarding the shudder when pulling away?

I'm afraid @Gavrobb has not been back on the Forum since early 2021.
