Juddering in upper gears

I've got the same fault, 700miles on new van, going into VW on Thursday
Let us know what they say mines seems to of calmed down
Hi
I wonder if anyone can confirm my suspicions please. My lightly driven 2015 T6 has an occasional issue whereby it 'judders' particularly in 5th gear and occasionally in 6th. This occurs when under very gentle acceleration as it goes up the gears. If I'm driving a little more aggressively it does not occur. I'm of the opinion that it's getting slightly worse or more frequent.
I see from quick search of the forum that the only other mention of 'juddering' relates to an engine remap. I have indeed had the vehicle remapped but I hadn't really considered that it could have 'mechanical' consequences.
Is this the likely culprit and is it best to have it put back to the standard map.
Thanks.

Millage?
What engine & PS?
DSG or manual.?
Possible clutch / DMF related?

Well you have 6 gears so you have one of the bigger engines, if the 5 speed box that is known for being a bit weak generally the 6 speed is a lot tougher
Unfortunately the most common scenario is DMF issues but it could be engine related and a consequence of the remap ??

if it was a mechanical issue . . . . . ie a failing DMF, it would be all the time under all loads.
its DSG and at 37k so the DMF and clutch pack should be good.
so as you say its occasional and under light loads . . . . it may be down to the map?
as the map is an unknown variable you dont know what the MAP characteristics are at that point in time . .?
basically saying it may just be a symptom of running that map . . . . as normally the maps are coded for more power, and this is happening under light power demand.
The maps can adjust and change the boost pressure, fuel pressure, injection timings and many other things, maybe under that light load specific moment the map isnt producing enough power.
the only real tell is either time . . . . . to see if it gets worse.
or have the map removed for a time to see if the symptoms change.
not seen these guys before ( looks like a franchise setup ) & not sure how the maps are Dyno proved or setup.

Thanks for the advice. Think I'll have the map reset and see if it sorts it. I think the Black-Code operation is some kind of head office with, as you say, a local operator who comes to site. I them before with a motorhome which all seemed okay, but can't I've really been that impressed with their approach and operation.
The map really improved the feel and efficiency of my T6, so I believe it to be worth doing in principal. Are there any better reputable companies that are worth using?
