Why does the Audi Q3 jerk when starting and releasing the brake?
2 Answers
Audi Q3 jerking when starting and releasing the brake may be due to stubborn dirt and impurities inside, especially when dirt and impurities accumulate inside the valve body, forming blockages that prevent effective regulation of oil pressure, leading to jerking, impact, and slipping issues. Solution: Replacing the transmission fluid can help but cannot completely solve the problem. With technological advancements, transmission jerking issues can now be resolved without disassembly or repair. Inspection items: Check if the original wheels have slight deformation or are out of round, if there are issues with wheel balance, and if the tire sidewall thickness is even. Also, check if the tire pressure is balanced between the left and right tires.
Having driven the Audi Q3 for several years, I'm all too familiar with the jerking sensation when releasing the brake at startup. Driving frequently in traffic jams, every slow start comes with a slight stutter, which can be quite frustrating. This is mostly a transmission issue, especially with Audi's dual-clutch DSG - the clutch engagement at low speeds isn't smooth, leading to shaking or brief stalls. It could also be slight rust adhesion on the brake discs, which occurs more easily after rain. Don't ignore it for safety's sake. I recommend gently pressing the accelerator to warm up the car before driving, regularly checking transmission fluid and brake systems. If the problem persists, visit an authorized dealer for a software update to better match engine RPM. After all, letting small issues turn into major problems isn't cost-effective - safe driving comes first.
