I sometimes get juddering when pulling away when the engine is cold, the same, first 5 - 10 minutes. Doe not happen when reversing off the drive, only when pulling away.

Snap! only when it's damp though, then it's fine after the first couple of pull aways in first and the rest of the day. I was wondering if a cold start and turning everything on to get going is causing the revs to drop, thus causing the initial judder on clutch take up. I have found a bit more use of the accelerator helps.

Its been back to garage a few times now, they have changed the flywheel and clutch, checked all the timing tosion valves etc. and everything seems perfect!!!!!! In the garage today for service and also checking the clutch switch on the request of vw technical so we shall see. I think it maybe down to the throttle pedal unit itself may need senting up again as it needs a good inch of movement for any power and any light touch causes stutter feeling

im sure golfs had this problem a few years back with damp getting on the clutch plate im sure vw are aware of this problem, have a look on the forum or google it

I get this too on my 08 with 19k, its been in on numerous occassions. But surprise surprise they cannot fault it.

That or the lumpy idle... would you guys say both issues point to DMF/Clutch?

went into the garage again and they have checked everything pretty much now so just one of those things really with the car so in other words tough live with it!!!! vw wash their hands of it basiclly
