7 Speed DSG Judder

Thanks, that explains why i still get a judder after Skoda what to the expense of replacing the whole gear box, it is not as bad as the original gear box but is still evident under the same conditions. Overall I am still more than happy with choosing this model but it would be good to see a real fix made available.
My judder only happens after slowing down to around 5mph then accelerating again from 2nd gear, it never happens from a standing start in first gear so I wonder if the set up should be changed so that 1st gear is selected at a higher speed when slowing down so that acceleration starts in 1st gear and not 2nd.

Seems very odd that it wasn't the Mechatronics unit. I got my car back about 2 weeks ago from them replacing it and the car drives perfectly now. Seems a bit odd that they don't know what is causing it. The reason they were replacing Mechatronic unit in VW cars was because you would put your foot on the brake when stopping at a traffic light for example and when setting off again, take your foot off the brake but the car has a little delay in the electrics where it still thinks the brakes are on and creates this judder, its a safety system in these gearboxes if im not mistaken. However it's not supposed to judder, the delay is not supposed to be there and it should either not let you move or let you move instantly. It was an an electrical problem basically rather then a mechanical fault. I can't see any other part that would be causing this problem.

Hope they find a solution.

Hi, I also had my mechatronic unit replaced at first but this made no difference.

My judder only happens when slowing down to around 5mph then accelerating again in 2nd gear. It never happens from a standing start.

the Skoda has an electronic break assist system which comes on when you stop on a hill, when you remove your foot from the break the breaks stay on and then release gradually as you accelerate, this works very well and I have bever noticed any delay or juddering.

The Auto-hold feature worked fine for me too even with this problem. That's another part on its own i think. Basically an electric handbrake. I guess you had a different problem to me then. I had it when the car stopped but also when it was moving slowly. I had it in first gear and the reverse gear. If it isn't the clutch or a weak gear plate, either the 1st or second gear then god knows.

My loaner Golf did this, I think it's the dry clutches myself, it is snatchy though.
