Hi All, new to here and looking for advice. I drive a 2015 A6C7 2.0 TDI Avant. Automatic. Ultra 190bhp.

Recently it has started vibrating when I'm coming to a stop, slowing down. Gear changes seem to be taking longer too.

Goole tells me it's the DMF  yesterday after a 2 minutes drive around a carpark a mechanic said it's the driveshaft, possibly the transfer bearing but would need to strip it and the gearbox out to check 

Any advice before I commit to spending money on one thing to be told it's something else 

Thanks for any help

I have changed the title.

I was not aware that automatic transmissions had dual mass flywheels. Are you sure it has a DMF?

Hi Cliff going by YouTube and google yes it has the dual mass flywheel which is obviously the expensive one, my luck, apparently it makes a smoother running car..

I've tried to price it through Autodoc and my registration brings up the DMF.

AUDI here in Ireland are quoting ¢4900 for the flywheel and a clutch service which I won't be paying I'm trying to find an independent garage that can do it but I'd like a better idea of the cause of the noise before I give it to anyone.
