Jumpy when starting off

Hi all

I have an Audi A3 2.0 diesel automatic on a 2008 plate.

The only problem I have is that when I start off from a junction or start in stop start traffic the car is very jerky once in second it's fine, it doesn't happen all the time but does seem to be getting worse, it doesn't make any difference if the cars cold or warmed up.

Any ideas gratefully received

Cheers Andy 馃榾馃憤馃憤

Mine is just the same, feeling聽as if the clutch is snatching. It only happens occasionally for me but it makes me nervous at junctions and the like. An Audi dealer聽I used to take it to for servicing looked a bit sheepish and said there was nothing wrong. Ha! A classic case of "the computer says no." Needless to say I don't go there any more.

Hello Andy,

I don鈥檛 know what mileage you have covered in your automatic, and indeed I鈥檓 not sure what VAG recommends聽in terms of transmission fluid changes (if any), but sometimes symptoms such as yours can benefit from a fluid and filter change. Not a cheap job, but聽the car is 11 years old, and I assume (silly me!) that it has not been done before.聽

If this were mine I would be entrusting an investigation to a trusted automatic gearbox specialist, and I would guess there must be some recommended business within the聽not too distant Midlands at least. The fluid change is often followed by resetting the correct change parameters.聽Perhaps someone on here could come up with a recommendation.聽

No doubt, whoever you chose will eliminate such possibilities as engine mountings etc.聽

Kind regsrfs,

Gareth.聽
