The Official Mk7 Golf DSG / Clutch / Shudder / Squeal Issues Thread

[Das Hemi]

Hi, I purchased a Mk7 90TSI DSG7 plated September 2013 new from the local dealer.
The car now has 84,000km on it.
It had been running superbly until around the 60k mark where I noticed a shudder start to develop.
It has not worsened to date but i think i should have it dealt with before the warranty runs out.

It is a work car so I do around 35k a year in it.

The shudder:
Seems to always occur at very low revs and when engine is under load. -particularly a cold engine
Example: Slowly reversing out of my driveway on an incline.
Slowly accelerating away from a stop on an incline.

I generally drive with zest so the shudder is rarely felt. Seems like when you use the semi-auto mode everything is fine and dandy.

What is far more annoying than the shudder is the rattle from the wastegate clip. I had it fixed at 30k nut it returned at 60k. Need to fix it again at next service which is in a week.

a new clutch every 30k is a joke.
just out of curiosity - do you do a lot of city driving? lots of traffic?
do you baby it?
