08 1.9 Dual Plate Clutch Problem - Spanner23
With the onset of winter weather clutch judder started on my 2008 model pre SEAT owned Altea XL 1.9Tdi at about 8K. The dealership will fit a new clutch on warranty after Christmas. Major work at this mileage is not a good start. I am dreading the problems which may follow this work, broken parts, missing fixings, rattles, exhaust leaks and OBD2 faults. I know from experience that even with a good technician on the job I will be very lucky if I get only one additional defect after the work. I had seriously thought of getting rid of this vehicle.

What are the symptoms of your clutch judder?
My Altea XL seems to judder when pulling away in first , most noticeably from cold but most of the other time there is no problem?
