#1: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: 180tomtom, Location: West YorkshirePosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 2:47 pm ---- I have just purchased a GTi 180, The car is absolutrly mint, no complaints what so ever.. apart from just one thing, wondering if it is a common fault.
When i set off from stationary there is quite a nasty judder, kind of like the engine mounts are loose type of a judder. Once you are mooving thou it completly goes away untill you stop and set off again.
Any thoughts??

There is just this judder as i say. i have had a 140 GTI before and i could of sworn it did the same thing.

#8: Re: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: 180tomtom, Location: West YorkshirePosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:30 pm ---- Just gets a little bit irritating, speically when you have passengers in car.. Bit of a perfectionist so will have to get it sorted out lol..
So i am looking for engine support at cambelt side... failing that it should be the clutch that needs replacing..??
#9: Re: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: 206de, Location: KentPosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:37 pm ---- Most likely to be the clutch I had mine replaced about 4k miles ago on mine and the cold weather has brought a little judder ever so slightly in the mornings
Must be a bad clutch design!! I would consider maybe uprating if you do decide to change the clutch as the judder will more than likely come back after a few thousand miles!
#10: Re: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: 180tomtom, Location: West YorkshirePosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:43 pm ---- I don't know... poor french lol. They certainly know how to extract power from an engine. Just not for very long lol...
What sort of clutches would you reccomend me to be looking at ??
#11: Re: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: 206de, Location: KentPosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:55 pm ---- Haven't looked into any alternative clutches mate but if I'd known my new one was gonna start showing signs of the juddering again so early on, I would have got another lol
#12: Re: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: 180tomtom, Location: West YorkshirePosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:56 pm ---- Bit of a shame that really if it comes back so quickly. How much was the standered clutch?? did you fit yourself??
#13: Re: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:58 pm ---- I had the juddering, most pronounced when you pull away at speed.
I had a new clutch fitted which solved it. The clutch was SAKS branded (German, as used in VW, Audi, Mercedes) and was a superb clutch, the biting point was very low which helped fast gearchanges
#14: Re: GTi 180 Slight Juddeering When setting off Author: 180tomtom, Location: West YorkshirePosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 4:02 pm ---- How many miles have you got out the clutch so far Antix???? and has the juddering never returned??

Car was sold, it had the original clutch replaced at 65k miles.
New clutch had only done about 1000 miles when I sold it.
