I can confirm that mine is silky smooth all the time.

I've never had any 'jerkyness' or 'lurching'; in fact I've advised many people that it must be one of the best for smoothness and instant response. It mates perfectly with the petrol engine.

Maybe it's the diesel engine that causes the problem for you?

 

Thanks Allan - that's what I was expecting to hear. I test drove two diesel 308s and don't recall them being jerky.

 

Sometimes it is indeed jerky. From 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th. But all depends how you use it, sometimes it is silky smooth, sometimes not.

I believe there is no problem, it may just be the factory adjustment that may differ from car to car.

 

I am impressed with the EAT6 on mine and I think the smoothness is comparable to my other car's CVT.

Mine is smooth. A colleague told me it's better than his A3 etron
It maybe the fuel you are using. I'm only using V power nitro.

 

Thanks guys.

It's definitely not as smooth as the Golf DSG I had a couple of years ago nor the X3 we have. Most definitely not as smooth as a CVT.

I've tried Shell V-Power Nitro+ diesel and it was no better.

 

What sort of journeys are you doing? Most of my journeys are Motorway so car gets driven hard. It maybe some sensor causing slow gear/clunky change. I've had it clunky when parked for weeks (car body shop) but was fine after 30 mins of being driven hard.

 

mind can sometimes do the same, had it to a few dealers and they all can't find a problem, it's fine most of the time but just occasionally it goes all dim and does odd changes and judders, I can only think it's the box trying to rough out the face of the clutch plate a bit for whatever reason?

 

Must say I love the way the EAT6 operates with my GT180. I feel its really smooth, comparable with the DSG I had in my Octavia Vrs I had a few years ago. It does cut out abruptly when coming to a stop but I generally don't have to worry about this as I don't normally have to park close to anything. Quicker the better it stops to save me fuel!! I do like to put it in manual mode and do the gears myself and this is much better than the manual mode in the DSG box.

Only weirdness (not going to call it a issue as its not) is that, when I set of when its really cold the gearbox holds on to the gears a lot longer than normal. I just normally just flick the paddle and knock it up a cog that way.

That could be down to the cold and possibly risk of stalling the engine at low revs. By holding on to the gears and allowing both the car moment to equalise and have higher revs, the new incoming gear will sit at a higher revs etc. Also the colder weather - gear changes being smoother so the wheels don't slip perhaps.

 

Currently only 17.5k miles in my GT 180 Auto and have to say it's running very smoothly indeed, no issues at all. Very pleased and have to agree with some others on the thread in saying it's one of the smoothest.

I'd say if it is as jerky as described, would definitely get it looked at, especially as it's under warranty.

 

Portishead to Stroud and back, five days a week

 

So I'm not too far away from you - You could compare against mine if it helps...

 

Thanks guys. I think I'll book the car back in to the dealer and ask that they take another look. I drove a couple of GTs (so that's the 180 engine as opposed to the 150 in mine) and a 150 Feline but as I mentioned, I didn't think any of them were jerky.

 

my one was same like your 308 but after around 1500km, it was getting better and now it changes smoothly. but sometimes feel judder when slow down and gear changes down shifting from 4 to 3.

 

I feel the judder when braking hard and I've always assumed this is some kind of engine braking assistance. It's similar to feeling ABS kicking in.

I've booked the car in at the dealer for next week. There's a 'wheezing' from the engine and I have noticed the engine hunting (when idling) now and again.

 

Is this issue solved
My 1.2 does exactly 5he same

 

May be a problem with dpf or fap filter, mines currently being replaced for similar jerkyness mainly when start stopping and going slow tho not in the higher gears
