Hi Guys,

I hope someone might be able to help with this.

I have a 2023 Kamiq 1.0  DSG SL Executive bought new this year.

Initially I had no problems then the DSG started to shudder in reverse and also between 1 & 2 gears.

I've tried a reset as shown on Youtube but it is still happening.

The supplying dealership cannot find anything wrong.

Any thoughts?

PS I've had  Octavia DSG new - 130,000mls,  Kamiq  DSG new - 18,000mls.  with no issues.  The previous cars were just very smooth changers, this problem is really annoying.

Hello Grant, were you able to demonstrate this shuddering to the Dealership? It sounds to me like you have a problem with the clutch pack.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

No the dealership  just "checked it out" but couldn't replicate it.

I intend to take it in again soon. The problem is it doesn't always do it. I'm concerned it will get worse.

 

Does this problem happen more often when the engine/gearbox/clutches are cold?  Even if you cannot get the problem to occur when they look at it again, insist that they enter the issue, exactly as described, against your vehicles record. I believe that your concern is justified.   

Best not mess about trying resets or anything else.

Be sure the dealership is recording your concerns incase you have a warranty claim coming up.

 

Maybe go fill the tank with E5, Tesco Momentum 99 or Sainsbury Super Unleaded 97 ron (min) and see if you notice any difference. 

Thanks for the responses.

Have been into dealership (3 nails in tyres !!  one repairable and 1 new tyre) They were very helpful re DSG issue.

Offered to take vehicle in for a couple of days and drive it to try to get fault to occur. I will drive it with technician initially also.

Hopefully it will reoccur. Then we might get to the bottom of the problem.

Will let you know outcome.

I had a similar problem with my Fabia a few years ago.  Initially the dealer said not to worry.  I took it in again and went out with the service manager who agreed there was a problem.  They replaced the clutch pack under warranty which fixed the problem.

Hi All,

Well vehicle has been back to dealer for 3 days, but unable to replicate the problem. I even drove with technician but couldn't get it to judder when reversing or when coming down from 2 - 3.

Got it home reversed into car park and there it was - juddering !!

Looking at other owners experiences it looks very much like clutch pack and/or mechatronic unit.

However I guess dealer won't want to replace anything until it is properly diagnosed. After all they will want Skoda UK to pay for it.

Has anyone else out there had any experience of this issue?

Nothing can be replaced until properly diagnosed so it looks like you are going to have to have someplace other than where you are going do that.

With a new car and nothing showing with their Technicians checks and road tests you are kind of stuffed for now, but at least your concerns are on record with Skoda or should be.

You will get the repair if a repair is required, it is just a shame you have this from your new car.
