MKV Jetta Wolfsburg turbo w/ DSG shudders and shakes at stops in gear with brake on?

Just bought a 2010 Jetta with 111,000 miles and the EA888 engine. She runs awesome above 35mph, drives like a dream with all the power and absolutely zero vibration, but when you slow down to a light and holding the brake, she shudders as if the motor mounts or something are gone. Does not make any bad noises or groaning or anything just exhibits a shake in the drive line. And sometimes once you get moving it kinda shakes like a tires out of balance or something too but I don t know if that s related.

All the recalls and services have been done as far as I know, and I m gonna take her to the dealer tomorrow to get a service tech s opinion, but I was just wondering from anybody with experience with these cars if this is normal? My last MKV was a 2.5 with 104,000 and never did anything like this so it didn t seem normal. But I ve also never driven anything with a turbo and DSG so maybe it is normal.

    No it is not normal.

    It needs to go to a VW specialist.

    Look up DSG issues on the Internet.
