I've got a Golf V5 170bhp with tiptronic transmission thats just over 1 year old and has done 11000 miles. Over the past week or so I've noticed that when accelerating briskly in automatic mode there is a perceptible judder and hesitation as the gearbox shifts into 4th and 5th gears.Once it's changed up the car drives smoothly. It feels as if perhaps the the auto box is trying to change up too quickly. The gears shift perfectly well when driving around town and the judder doesn't occur if I shift up through the gears in tipronic mode.
If it continues I'll get the car seen by a franchised dealer, but I was wondering if anyone out there had any experience of these autoboxes and could advise what the fault might be or whether it could be a warning of future problems?
