Range Rover TDV8 judder

[roger1361]

Has anyone got an answer to why my Range Rover TDV8 2010 model year, should judder when put in to drive and moving off at low speed. It does this only when it's cold.

Torque converter is buggered ! Get it seen to before it fubars the autobox !

Could just need a flush, adding some Dr tranny will help the symptoms.

Common issue on these gearboxes. I would find someone that can perform a proper gearbox flush like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Q-GxOVnks not just an oil change, then also add in a tube of Dr. Tranny (http://www.lubegard.com/~/C-250/Dr.+Tranny+Instant+Shudder+Fixx) and see how it goes certainly a much cheaper alternative than a change of the torque converter.

This TDV8 Judder has been a journey. The car has only done 58k miles btw. The torque converter being at fault was diagnosed by my local LR Specialist and was duly replaced. TDV8 still juddered! Next all 8 injectors tested & refitted, still juddered! next 8 injectors taken form another car fitted, still juddered! then air flow replaced, still juddered! bearing in mind that there's no fault showing on the dash and his expensive diagnostic equipment showing all clear. Finally the Exhaust Gas Analiser Valve was replaced and this has seemingly, all fingers crossed, finally fixed the issue and now no judder !! Please share this with others so as to avoid others paying unnecessary costly bills.

Judder related but maybe slightly different issue.

2008 TDV8 judders when setting off and under acceleration even when mild. Has slowly got worse over time and now the whole body moves and the judder is side to side.

I would normally asume drive shaft but it keeps on juddering even after you have lifted off the accelerator and are coasting.

Could it be the same fault of any other thoughts?

Its actually a wobble, not a judder

Your wobble / judder sounds different to my issue and from all my recent discussions it sounds like the torque converter, although I'm not an expert! Torque converter replacement for mine cost £725.00, in my case it was miss diagnosed though and it turned out not to be needed. These vehicles are seemingly notoriously difficult to diagnose.
