clutch judder in first gear on take off

Cheers Dandam
I was hoping for a no quibble event. I tested the mulrichronic and didn't get on with it. Might be interested in the newer auto box though.
I've experienced it from cold and after a 90 mile run on dual carriageway and motorway.
Will keep updating with events...

I have driven the multitronic and the dsg box, and have to say the dsg is a big improvement over the multitronic in the C7 A6. I had multitronic in my C6 A6 and never liked it, but I never overly loved that car anyway so it was just another nail in that cars coffin.
So if I do get another A6 it leaves a dilema for me, risk a manual, put up with the multitronic (can't afford a dsg yet, plus not sure I want to get into the world of 'adblue' yet) or go outside of the fold I have looked at an e class Merc, but the interior doesn't feel 'special' like an A6.

Here's a good one. If a part is replaced under warranty within the warranty period it does NOT qualify for the 2 year parts warranty.
You have to pay for it yourself for the parts warranty to apply.
Amazing way to ensure you aren't replacing the same faulty part for the life of the vehicle!

Which is strange cos I luv mine! Horses for courses I suppose.

My car a 62 plate has just in to a the local Audi dealer with this problem ie. judder in 1st gear (manual) when starting off.
As per previous posts mine only seems to happen when the car has had a decent run and the engine and gearbox oil and good and hot.

Local Audi tech seemed befuddled with the symptoms but are investigating. I'll post results when I get the car back

Dealer agrees it's a defective part, Audi offering to pay 50% despite only covering 14k miles since the last one was fitted. £922

These have dusted off the archives, car has a 5yr warranty. Nice one original owner.
Can't see how this would have been free of charge to me otherwise

Update from dealer visit yesterday:-

Car is ok, they cant find a problem with the clutch.
The clutch is showing small signs of wear in line with the relatively low mileage of 45K.

Would'nt you know - It was fine on the drive home last night but this morning shuddering like a wild thing.

I am or should I say a passenger will video the effects when driving to show the dealer.

Watch this space!

My one was a failed clutch pressure plate that lead to hear spots on the flywheel. £2k job

Hi...

Got a feeling mine is on the way... judder in first gear on take off unless I set off on idle. It's ok first thing, but like today I've been all over the town stopping n starting and it seems to get worse as the day goes on.
Might have to call off at audi for them to test drive whilst its warm and happening rather than leave it with them to check first thing when it's cold and not happening.
It's due it's first year service at the start of next month so hopping to get it sorted then.
Car is 11 months old with 12200 miles on the clock.

I had the same issue with my A5 2.0 TDI Quattro at 18 months old and 9000 miles on the clock, but didn't see it to the end as I'd seen a Golf GTD DSG at VW next door and within a week had part ex'd it...

Thx
