I have an Audi A6 2.0 TDi (Jan 2005) 17k miles. After about three months of owning it, it developed what I call a 'juddering' clutch. Intermittently, when pulling away in 1st gear, the clutch judders - and no matter how you adjust the revs, or how slowly or quickly you release the clutch, it still happens. I have been driving for 28 years, so I don't think it is me!
Sometimes it is worse than other times - sometimes it will make the car stall, other times it just makes for a very jerky pull away.
Also, general gear changes at all speeds seem very jerky - as though the clutch isn't releasing smoothly - sort of 'catching'.
It is also intermittent - with no obvious pattern as to when it does or doesn't happen.
The first time it went to the dealers, they said that they had updated the software , which seemed to cure it for about a month, but then it came back. Since then it has been back to the delears twice, and they say they cannot find a problem.
Is anyone else out there seeing the same problem, or have any ideas?
