My car today developed a problem with the DSG. Normally when it's in 2nd gear in slow traffic the clutch take up from a slow crawl to acceleration is smooth.

Today the clutch take up from 2nd gear in "D" started getting rough - like there's a violent shudder for 2 seconds.

I decided to do a few exercises to see when it would replicate. The shudder isn't there when I use tiptronic from 1st to 2nd.

If I'm in "D" the shudder isn't there if I accelerate quickly from D1, through D2 to D3.

Whilst crawling in D2, the clutch take up is smooth if I accelerate lightly from the slow crawl.

Whilst crawling in D2, the clutch take up is violent if I accelerate moderately to heavy from the slow crawl.

Obviously the answer is I have to take it into the workshop to have it checked. I'm dreading it though cos I already know that Mascot is booked out for June. I'm worried Five Dock will likely be the same.

In the meantime I'll have to drive like a granny in D2 until I hit D3.

Pity it's a public holiday tomorrow & I have to wait an extra day.

Anyone else starting to experience similar issues with the 7DSG? I've done a general google search & cannot find anything on the matter.

The car has just celebrated its 1st birthday and I've got 22,200 km on the clock.
