2012 C5 2.0 Hdi Intermittent Juddering

[mflynn1971]

Hi i have a 2012 C5 with a 160 bhp 2.0 engine with 77k km on the clock. It drives absolutely perfect except 3 times in the past few weeks while I began  moving a severe judder started. This happened when i was moving off and had car clutched i think on all occasions or was in the process of changing gear. Its so rough i immediately switch of the car. The first time i though something serious had happened so was slow to start it. But it was fine on restart each time. its not the kind of judder you'd leave the engine running to investigate. Its going in for a service in the next few days but would love a heads up if any one has any ideas. I originally suspected engine but something clutch/flywheel is my current guess. The clutch isn't slipping though.

 

Regards

Possibly the DMF. Mine made a lot of noise, particularly when the engine was pulling hard (e,g, going up a steep hill) and it finally broke about 500 miles after the noise started.
