vw bora 1.9 tdi pd 130 - bora intermitant judder - clarkey1976

hello can anyone help me please. I have just had a new sach dmf clutch kit fitted and since it has been done it has had a intermittent juddering at idle speed and when it is juddering there is a strange noise coming from gear box area and the way to stop it is by pressing the clutch or gently push it up to first gear without the clutch in or wait untill its been running a while and the juddering stops. I think it could be a faulty dmf but not sure. The noise dont sound like a typicle rattling dmf. And the car drives fine with plenty pull. Can you help me please. Any help would be appriciated.

The first thing to do is to take it back and let them check it out. To remove this gear box several sensors have to be disconnected under the bonnet and two on the gear box. One of these may be the cause of your problem, but the noise the gearbox makes is very odd. Regards Peter

i have to agree with you about the flywheel and clutch, but my question to you is ..

why did you fit a new clutch and flywheel and was the symptoms you are experiencing there prior to the change, if so the fault could be the input shaft bearings on the gearbox.
