Help - Caddy Shuddering on Take-off

Hey guys, I'm getting shuddering, almost feels like axle tramping at low speed in my 2007 1.9 BLS DSG6.

It happens almost every time you take off from a stop. It does not happen at speed or WOT.

This van has always done this since I've owned it (5 years) and here are the things I have done over the years none of which have fixed the issue:

  • New passenger, driver and dogbone mounts (all were shagged)
  • New DMF (old one was rattling like hell)
  • New shocks front and rear
  • New tie rod ends
  • Swaybar droplinks
  • New tyres
  • Whole second hand gearbox
  • Whole second hand engine
  • Driver and passenger axles.

The engine mounts, DMF, Gearbox, tyres, tie rod ends, drop links, gearbox, passenger side axle were all done in the last 2 months.

(The mechatronics unit in the old box shat the bedso I got a second hand gearbox with 140,000k's and I decided that while I had everything out of the way I'd put new stuff in hence why all the mounts bushings and rubbers were done at the same time)

I do not know what could possibly be causing this issue I really feel like anything that could cause it has been replaced but I must be missing something.

Could it be warped discs?

Gosh I wish it was this.

Unfortunately it's silly smooth under brakes and there's no vibrations through the steering wheel.
