    Facelift 2018 S3 Drive Line Concerns

    Just an update, Had a bit of work done on the car (downpipe, intercooler, intake) recently and had the DSG flushed at the same time. Surprisingly the fluid change has drastically improved the smoothness and responsiveness of the transmission. The fluid came out extremely dirty at only 45,000...

    Facelift 2018 S3 Drive Line Concerns

    Hi mate, Already had the Haldex pump changed out at 20000 km. You’re right though - the car was very jerky with that broken. I would also see the traction light up often.

    Slight vibration during deceleration in 2nd and 3rd

    Still trying to track down this issue of steering vibration and poor jerky DSG shifts sometimes. I’ve definitely got in my head that I’m seeing early signed of a DMF failure and won’t be convinced until I drive another vehicle. Since my first post I had the DSG tuned with TVS which has been...

    Facelift 2018 S3 Drive Line Concerns

    I own a 2018 facelift S3 with the DQ381 7-Speed and it currently has around 48,000 km on the clock. This is my first DSG car (purchased second hand at 28,000 km) and I have not driven another DQ381, but after having the car for two-years now, I'm convinced that something's not quite right with...

    Odd vibration on downshifting S3 FL S-tronic

    Hey man, Have the same issue with my 2018 S3 with 40000 km. Had it at the dealer to have it looked at and they replaced the main engine mounts. That improved the feeling and dampended the vibrations but I can tell the issue is still there. Doesn’t happen all the time but I notice it in 5th and...

    Slight vibration during deceleration in 2nd and 3rd

    Hey man, What are you on about? They acknowledged the issue and replaced the faulty parts. So far the issue seems to have been resolved. I’m not a fan on the dealer in most cases either but can’t complain this time around. Btw they make money from warranty claims so typically are more than...

    Slight vibration during deceleration in 2nd and 3rd

    For those interested, I had the engine and DSG mounts replaced under warranty after managing to reproduce the issue. What a difference it has made to the drivability of the car. I still notice small resonance at the rpm that was problematic but it’s nowhere near as bad. The harsh gear shifts...

    Slight vibration during deceleration in 2nd and 3rd

    The car only has 25k miles so nowhere near the service interval yet. Driving home today I was playing around in 3rd. Can definitely get the vibration to occur with quite repeatable results on overrun between 3000 and 2000 rpm. I’ll show the dealer when I go for a service next week and see what...

    Slight vibration during deceleration in 2nd and 3rd

    Hmm interesting thought. Definitely hope it’s not related to the DSG. Anyone aware of an easy way to diagnose faulty dual mass flywheels? Something I could perhaps suggest to the dealer?

    Slight vibration during deceleration in 2nd and 3rd

    Guy, may my wits end trying to fix this exact same problem of vibration on deceleration in this specific rev range. It is very hard to reproduce but most commonly appears after gunning it and dropping down in to 3rd and coasting. Sometimes a slight cornering also seems to trigger it. If I...

    Slight vibration during deceleration in 2nd and 3rd

    Hi, I own an 18 FL S3 (36,000 km) and am also experiencing steering vibrations. The first of your concerns I have attributed to normal behavior - just the way the clutch disengages when coming to a stop. The second issue however is my main concern. I do not have this problem consistently but...
