I recently bought a Peugeot 3008 1.6 hdi auto 2010 from auction for the sole reason it was cheap and fitted the job it needed to do for work with the decent boot space.
Now, I've read stuff about the ECG auto being terrible, but for the price I paid I decided to gamble and see how bad it really is. The fact it went cheap should have told me something.
Put it though an MOT which passed with no advisories, then full service and timing belt.
Only issue is when pulling away slowly, creeping in traffic or maneuvering it judders / shudders really badly in first gear until it picks up some speed, and doesn't seem to do it in reverse at all. I would also say the longer I drive and as it warms up it slightly improves, but marginally if any. It's almost like a learner driver first using a clutch, really not nice. No issues at speed either, just when moving off.
I mentioned this to the garage where I got the service done and their response was the ECG auto is just ****. However, I really don't see it being this bad by design, as the shudder really is quite bad and makes slow driving very annoying.
Any ideas what could be wrong? So far I've read about clutch, actuator and DMF, all expensive and if it is that it could easily end up back in auction.
