How many miles has it done?

When was the oil last changed?

My 2013 is much smoother than my 2008 was. When reversing up a hill with the 08 it would wait for a while then lurch away.

The engine oil was recently changed.

Mine is a manual and the car shakes a bit when moving off, maybe they all do this?

Not the engine oil!!!!

The transmission oil. This probably needs an oil and filter change.

The clutch in the multitronic is totally different to the manual. No comparison whatsoever.

If it does this on clutch take up then that will be your dual mass flywheel. They are shyte. Mine was doing this from new but only for three or four times a month so of course it didnt happen when i took it to the dealers (sods law). Seemed to be worse after a long run. Dont let this lie, kick up about it. Should be smooth.

Might be worth having a word about a software update just in case. I know that some vdubs have an update.

The multitronic box does not use a crappy dual mass flywheel and conventional dry friction clutch......
