Evening

Just wanted to get some advice and Help please.

My 2016 S3 S Tronic has had a new gearbox recently under warranty.

After picking the car up noticed a judder when I’m in traffic and crawling(ie when following traffic with my foot on the brake etc 0-10mph)

I have also noticed the front left wheel vibrating shaking juddeing again when I have my foot slightly on the brake and the car is rolling. It’s not noticible after picking up speed.

Been back to the muppets at the dealer 4 times wasting my time leaving the car with them.

The so called “Tech” saying it’s normal each time and it just the clutch engaging according to him.

I’ve had the car from new and before the gearbox was changed it was fine.
Audi paid £5800 for the new gearbox.

I really think they messed up somewhere while putting in the new gearbox.

Any advice suggestions what to check would be greatly appreciated my warranty is running out soon.
 
My 2014 S3 stronic had a similar judder, noticed most when lifting off the brake and applying very gentle throttle. It was more obvious doing it on an incline, if it was steep enough you'd get it without applying the throttle.

They initially tried re-adaption which I think is just a settings reset, it solved it for a while but it came back after a few launches...they then replaced the clutch pack under warranty which has totally cured the issue.

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply.

Yes I have noticed it worse on a Incline.

There’s a clattering also to go with it.

The funny thing is it was fine before my gearbox was changed.
