I have a strange problem that you guys may be able to help me with, I have a A4 100 TDI thats done 25k and it 1.5 years old. When the car has been standard for a while (say 5-6 hours) and I pull off I get a slight judder from the clutch, after pulling away from junctions a couple of time everything becomes ok and things are nice and smooth for the rest of the journey. Its as if the clutch places jump slightly or there is grease on the plates - I'm planning to take it back to the dealer but its a strange problem - any pointers or suggestions?
 
Possibly an oil leak onto the clutch plates. It sounds like the oil gets burned off after a few uses of the clutch. Should get it seen to as most leaks get worse and then you may need a new clutch
