Should my Audi A6 be juddering in first?

Filed under: fault

The question

Hi, I am driving a 2009 Audi A6 with 91,000 miles on the clock and a manual gearbox. It shudders on take off in first gear, mostly after starting in the morning. Any idea what it might be? I have had it to the garage and they tell me its a "feature" of the car. Not convinced!! Can you help? Gearbox oil has been changed.

Hi Jim,

I'm inclined to agree with you, though it's difficult to know for sure without experiencing it for myself. From what you say it really sounds like a clutch or flywheel problem and the only way to fix it could be a replacement of those items. Not cheap, sadly.
