Alright guys
For the past few months my Cupra gearbox every so often judders going from 2nd to 3rd gear and sometimes in other gears. Has anyone else had this problem??
It doesn't do it all the time, some days it wont do it at all, then other days it will do it a couple of times.
Trying to find out if this is normal which i doubt.
Another problem is trying to replicate what happens when i take it to the garage.

Anyone else's car do this??
Cheers

yes. Mine has done it... maybe 3 times. It seems to happen if you're flooring it from coldish (driving for around 2-3 minutes) always from 2nd to 3rd.

Mine its usually when its cold but not always. Mine judders when I'm accelerating normally not when I floor it.

Where do you live? Also the ac may make it louder because of the extra load. Or it could be the ac compressor adding the noise in??

92!

For a Cupra seat recommend 98 at least. You may be getting judder due to the engine burning weaker petrol.

LOL :D,

Guys, i actually live in Egypt, there's no such 98 Octane fuel, the further i can get is 95, btw; mine is 1.6 DSG 5dr, it's not TSI

it also judders while shifting from D2 to D3 at low speeds, this is hardly noticeable at high speeds!! :shrug:

My Cupra DSG juders violently when setting off. It is happens more often when I auto when the car changes from 1st to 2nd gear. I have taken it back to SEAT and everything is upto date. I've always used VPower. Has anybody had this problem? How can I fix it?

My car does this when cold also if I catch it out pulling away. So slowly accelerate then boot it while its preparing 2nd. In Manual it behaves its self.

I've learnt with the dsg to use the throttle slightly different how you would use a conventional manual.

When you say judder what do you guys mean? a physical "judder" from the car or a judder in teh sense that the revs arent matched as quickly as normal?

Also, You bad bad people flooring it from cold lol. This TSI engine wont take much abuse like that without issues(any engine really but this one is very tempermental)

The car physically juders. The sound and vibrations feel like its coming from the back of the car under acceleration.
