Hi Cliff, Thanks very much for providing your opinion too. It was checked out by an Audi specialist who did confirm that it was the Dual-Mass flywheel. They've changed the whole clutch kit (for £750 including VAT and labour), and said to me afterwards that it was badly damaged inside, and I could have easily damaged the gearbox if I'd driven much further. Interesting - as apart from the shaking, there wasn't too nasty a noise from the engine like those I've seen on youtube videos where the DMF was failing badly. Sadly, there is still a small, regular vibration (like a much reduced version of the initial problem) while idling. The garage assure me that it's ok, and that they suspect that it will diminish over time, and may be a result of some damage done while the DMF was failing... But also mentioned injectors as a possible cause... They've sent me away for now to keep an eye on it. Will keep this updated with any further developments, but thanks again for the contributions gents. Glen

I daresay if anybody had an idea he would have spoken up by now Stuart. Bear in mind there are precious few of us in this forum so it is no surprise there are no replies. See the recent history of the forum for proof. Personally I distrust any of the code reader results so I didn't even look at yours. If the problem can not be solved with a new fob battery my suggestion is to get a meter and start testing the relevant circuits.
