Right. Not too sure if I have a problem or not, but hopefully someone can give a little insight to put my mind at rest (or not). I have had my car for nearly 4 weeks now, and absolutely love it. It has taken me a little getting used to having come from a 1.4 litre Renault Clio (I know, I know) to my 1.4 Tdi A2, but I have got the hang of it now I think. There is one thing however, that is kind of bugging me and I don't know if it has a problem or not.
When setting off in first, if I just raise the clutch pedal and use the idle revs to move the car forward (ie not using any accelerator pedal) the car kind of wobbles (almost feels like bouncing), so much so that the passenger seat shakes, and a kind of tinny sounding rattle can be heard from the drivers side dash/rear of engine bay. I have checked the bonnet catches and applied tape as advised on the forums, and I don't think it is anything to do with the clutch (gear changes seem ok). If I give it a bit of gas, it is better but can still be felt unless I give it more gas than I think should be necessary. The tinny rattle can be heard at all times when driving. Does it sound like normal behaviour or could something be wrong with engine mounts etc?? I love driving it and this is the only thing taking the shine of driving it for me
