Ed30 DSG juddering
« on: April 11, 2019, 05:17:38 pm »
Hello all, I'm looking for a bit of a pointer regarding me edition 30.
At motorway speeds whilst accelerating or just having me foot on accelerator the car behaves. As soon as I lift my foot off the throttle I get a juddering through steering wheel. Its like a wheel balance but happens every time I lift at any speed. Town driving (anything under 50mph really) is not effected. it is like I have splines missing from drive shaft and the shaft play is the cause.
Is there any common faults inside the DSG that may cause this?
Cheers
Jase

Hello all,
I have traced the problem to the drivers side cv joints. I replaced shaft and both cvs and problem disappeared. The old units were still sealed but they were very worn.
I only changed the long shaft -  the other side is a lot shorter and I'm hoping stronger.
Not a bad job to do... the sketchy part was removing the 'special tore' bolts from dog gearbox end. Luckily a hex key fitted - was a bit dodgy though. New Kimber part was supplied with standard socket bolts
