The Official Mk6 Golf DSG Clutch / Shudder / Squeal Issues Thread

Good to hear.

Has anyone ever had a loud metallic rattle from a cold/rested start being diagnosed as a faulty clutch-pack?

VW are ordering me a new clutch pack for deal with the 2nd gear shuddering problem and are insisting the cold start issue is also being caused by the clutch pack..

Never heard anything like that on my car

I'm fairly certain the noise is completely unrelated.

After having the engine mounts tightened to no effect the service centre is now claiming both noises (dsg shudder and start rattle) are coming from the clutch pack. I get a feeling i wont be driving my poor little tsi over christmas

Heard the metallic rattle a couple of times after stops when the handbrake wasn't engaged before placing the shifter into P. Seemed to be emanating from transmission.

I got my clutch pack replaced a couple of months ago to get rid of the shudder, gear shifts have been smooth since. But I do still experience the loud metallic rattle from cold start. It's hard to demonstrate the rattle since it is intermittent and only when the engine is cold. I'll probably record the noise one morning and show it to the service guys.

I had my clutch pack replaced last week as well. Shifting is better and the shudder is gone....but when I have the windows down and in stop-and-go traffic I can hear the transmission shifting and I have a "clunck" noise and I get some rough shifting. Not sure if the transmission needs to adapt after the clutch pack replacement and that noise will go away after a while.

Mine one is booked in for next week. Hopefully they replaced the clutch for me.

AAAAHHHHHH,

Now today I got up the hill and I got some loud tic,tic, tic noises and a big puff of black smoke coming out the exhaust.

Called VW and booked the car in for next week.

Anyone had this before. I think CrimDub had something similar a few pages back in this tread.

Thanks

3rd time in for the shudder... diagnostics now sent to VWA (apparently it was backwards and forwards all day, Perth techs talking to Sydney etc) waiting to hear the result.. Seriously over having to go back AGAIN

Oh and joy (heavy sarcasm) to hear the suprecharger squeak is back.
