Hi Steve, is ECU testing based in London? I took the car to a gearbox specialist yesterday and he said because the gearbox has just been serviced give it a couple of weeks for the new oils to work and see how it gets. He also said it could be the DMF on it's way out or it could be the clutch. My uncle said to try and see if it needs retuning to check if the correct amount of gas is naturally being applied without a peddle when in 1st gear or reverse. I have so many suggestions now and i'm just a bit lost lol. If you happen to be within an hours drive I'd happily drive to you and maybe you could give some form of diagnosis? i'm based in north London. Would that be an option?

Cheers guys. Couple of questions... Cliff, how long did you manage to drive the car with this issue? did it not need instant attention? Stevey, could you please elaborate what you mean by "ECU testing"? I googled it and many different things have come up.

HAHA! This is my brother who actually recommended me to this website. His is a manual as mine is auto and a different gearbox. would you seem to think that it is the DMF then too?

Hi guys, i've just purchased and Audi A3 S Line 2L TFSI 2008 with a DSG box at 62,000. The car drives great but when moving off the breaks from stationary at creeping speeds, there is a judder/shake until I apply throttle to roughly 5mph. I have just fully serviced the car and gearbox at an Audi specialist garage but this issue still occurs. The Audi specialist garage say it's a suspected flywheel issue but not certain. My local mechanic garage thinks the whole gearbox needs replacing just by driving it 5 metres backwards and forwards. Has anyone else had this issue? And does anyone have any idea how much the potential repair would cost? Thanks!
