Hi guys, I’m facing a bit of a battle with the dealership with my 2021 vRS DSG. It’s suffering from this horrible steering judder  at near full lock when manoeuvring at really low speed. I have seen another user has experienced this, and I believe the outcome was a replacement DSG gearbox done through warranty. I bought the car approved used back in May, so it has a 2 year extended used warranty. The dealership I’m dealing with say it’s worn Consol bushes which is causing the issue. I’ve had an independent VAG specialist sit in the car and watch this judder occur and he believe it is no way the bushes causing this judder. He thinks it’s more than likely gearbox or even an issue with the steering rack. 
 

my question to you all is firstly has anyone else experienced this with there mk4 Octavia, more specifically a DSG vrs? 
 

And secondly what would people best advise to tackle this issue with the dealer? Follow the process ? Get them to replace the bushes and show them it’s still doing the judder ? Or go straight to Skoda UK. ?

 

The car has been nothing but trouble since  May with a gearbox selector failing (fixed through warranty), and a broken spring clip on a brake pad destroying a rear disc.
