I had a go at that DSG reset procedure and have since noticed my DSG is much better - hope it stays that way.

I went to the dealer complaining about the judder and they changel the clutch pack based on technical product information 2026097/3 , clutch part no. 0AM 198 140 C, dealer says this is different clutch which is better than the one came in the car, could someone confirm if this is different clutch pack?

How come you guys can get the dealer to change the clutch so easily, I couldn't even get my dealer to do a simple reset. By way of an update, the car is still driving much better than before, although I've had the occasional 'clunk' between 1-2-3rd gear when it's very cold, pulling out of my driveway. Today on the freeway I noticed the variable revs in 4th gear again when prodding the right pedal, so I may try again for a new clutch pack since warranty expires in September.

Took me 3 trips to the dealer to actually get it replaced... First time I mentioned it was during the service, said I had to bring it back for diagnostics so did that then waited until it was confirmed and then they did it... Took months for it to actually get replaced. Persistence paid off... No more shudder and it's back to how the car was when I first bought it.

I am the latest person by the looks of it with a shuddering DSG clutch. Very disturbed as my Golf 77 TSI was one year old in January (20,000 klms). After doing a Google search for DSG shudder I found this site and just joined up now. I really feel like selling the car as I feel it's quite a major process; to firstly to convince my VW dealer to replace the clutch, then the amount of trips back and forward, plus waiting for parts and finally getting it back to probably find out that something else is wrong. Does anyone know if the engine has to come out to be able to access the clutch components? If so, I think it might go.
First off I might try driving it as a manual encase the transmission does somehow reset itself and by a miracle, the shudder disappears. The shudder is pretty much the same as most people have mentioned. Intermittent and noticeable usually while accelerating in second gear. Any advice would be appreciated. Thx

I guess it depends on the dealer. I took mine in for a service and mentioned the clutch shudder. One of the guys came out and took it for a drive with me and told me to bring it back in 2 weeks and they will replace the clutch kit. 2 weeks (+1 day later). No more shudder.

I went to Barloworld in Mascot (Sydney)
