ZEE-A6 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Recently bought an Audi A4 2.0 TDI 170 Quattro Manual on an 09 plate. The car has done 164k miles so it’s not exactly low however Iv had an issue since, when the car is both cold and warm it shakes on idle. There is no smoke, loss of power or warning lights, in fact it moves quick. However it shakes a little and sometimes feels like a shudder, anyone have any idea what it could be? Thanks Zee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hello Zeeshan, Does depressing the clutch when idling, make any different to the shuddering? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian74656 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Check your timing belt and make sure its in good condition, and does it shudder when you raise your clutch pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing, I did try seeing what happens if I press the clutch up and down as I was trying to pin it down to being the flywheel.. it didn’t make any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
