2017 Mazda3 2.2d Juddering while pulling away in 1st
Discussion
Hi all, I'm new to the forum so please forgive me if this topic has been covered but I've been struggling to find any advice on this issue.
I recently purchased a 2017 Mazda3 2.2d Sport Nav, which is fantastic but very different from the VAG cars I've had in the past where there's lots of advice available.
The car has only covered 47k (full Mazda SH) and is in good nick to be fair. I am experiencing a strange judder when pulling away in 1st gear; which seems to be less severe if I pick the revs up a little than I normally would. Initially it got me thinking DMF or clutch but I've spoken to several Mazda dealers who say it's extremely rare to see this in these cars, particularly at this mileage.
On heavy load in gear it's as smooth as silk and changing gear is also fine. I have it booked in for diagnostic tomorrow with my local dealer but I'm concerned they'll start charging through the nose before getting to the bottom of it. I wondered if anyone has had a similar issue? If so what was the outcome and cost implications?
Any advice is massively appreciated.
