Period mentioned

Approx. 2015–2021

Abnormal vibration or shudder when pulling away and at low speed, especially in traffic.

Check for the garage

At the dealer: run the judder test with the diagnostic tool, install the latest gearbox software and replace the dual clutch only if the judder remains.
