Hi
Purchased a 2010 altea 1.6 CR TDI with the 7 speed DSG gearbox. Loved the car for the first week or so until now. I seem to be getting a 'judder' through the gearbox when the car shifts from first to second gear. Seems worse when the car is warmed up/in warmer weather and when needing to accelerate hard e.g. turning from a B road junction to a faster A road. I've had the tranmission fluid and filter changed at 40k service (which is when I bought the car). Hasn't made any difference.
I've done some research and there appears to be hundreds of posts regarding an inherant problem with the 7 speed dry clutch setup. I'm now massively regretting buying the car to the point I'm going to trade it in for a toyota. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue? Replacing the clutch apparently doesn't work despite and apparent modified update. Neither does updating the DSG software. I don't fancy spending 4K on a new gearbox or £1500 on a new clutch pack
My friend has a Golf GTI with wet clutch setup and it feels loads better than mine in terms of shift quality. Also no judder whatsoever no matter how hard you push it!
