Hello everybody! I have an issue.When i am driving in the city and brake towards a full stop, for example at traffic lights or traffic jam, once the car is fully stopped i can feel a slight vibration. It is very short 1-2 secs. Also same vibration happens once i release break pedal and car starts moving. But when I allow to creep and slowly accelarate there is no vibration. It is not happening continously, twice out of ten times. Except this, there is no problem shifting 1-2,2-3,3-4 and so on… also no vibration at high speed.
My question is :
Is it normal working style of EAT8 ? Can anyone share his experince?

Re: EAT8 Vibration
How are you feeling the vibration? Through the steering wheel or the pedals? 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: EAT8 Vibration
Well it is not on steering wheel either on the pedals. I can feel the shudder throughout the whole car when pulling away, and the vibration can also be felt throughout the car when stopped.

Re: EAT8 Vibration
The shuddering when pulling away feels like the judder you get in a manual car when the clutch is nearing the end of its life. The vibration when stationary is more like a general vibration.

Re: EAT8 Vibration
I came across a comment online while researching this issue:
“I had a similar problem, and it went away after I replaced the brake discs and pads.”
And also some comments says “only oem mounts will solve the issue not aftermarkets”
Do you think something like this could actually be possible?

Re: EAT8 Vibration
FIXED...
After many tests, I found out and fixed the problem. ;
1. I checked the gearbox oil level = It was OK. ( even I changed 4-5K miles before)
2. Checked the gearbox fault codes = No Fault Codes.
3. Checked software TCU and updated
3. Checked engine mounts = OK ( I recently changed all 3)
4. Checked strut mounts = OK ( even I didnt notice any fault I changed them)
5. Checked front brake disc and pads = FAILED ( almost finished) changed them
6. Checked front lower suspension arm bush = FAILED (SILENTBLOCK AND STABLIZATOR) I didnt notice before while I was driving most probably because of PHC Shocks or something) Changed everything on suspension.
now everything is OK.
DO NOT LOOK FOR THE BEST MECHANIC. THEY TOLD ME THAT I AM CRAZY AND JUST DRIVE NOT LISTEN AND HEAR EVERYTHING.... YOU ARE THE BEST ONE:)
