Been slowly getting worse but I’ve noticed the DSG seems to be holding too high a gear, so it’s sitting at just over 1000rpm round town causing vibrations - bit like hanging onto too high a gear in a manual.
Noticeably worse when towing.
Switching to sport or dabbing the accelerator puts it in a lower gear, higher revs & the vibes go.
This van is a 2018 204 4motion Dsg now with 125k with full VWSH & apart from this drives perfect.
Had exactly the same issue on my previous van, a T5 180 Dsg 4motion, dealer changed the dual mass flywheel but it made little difference, sold it not long after so never resolved it.
Still managed to keep it under VW warranty so any ideas much appreciated before I take it in.
(They did say front engine mount needs changing soon at the last service so maybe that’s worth a go?)
Thanks
