Anyone else notice a shake, or rattle in the engine at a creeping pace? Like, no throttle application but no foot on brake, like when crawling in heavy traffic?

I noticed this on mine this past week for the first time.. JSW - 11.5K

None...2011 Golf DSG (replaced by VW W/) 2013 Passat SE 6M(bought back) Current 2017 sportwagen TSI 4Motion.
I would guess it's just the clatter af the diesel engine .... Mines a bit louder at a crawling pace too ... More so when the car is cold ...

Are you talking about idling along in 2nd or maybe even 3rd gear? Like when it all of a sudden has to pull a bit harder and then shudders a bit as it's doing it?

If so yes I felt that, it seems like if you keep it just above idle it doesn't happen. But it's kind of annoying - I just try and avoid it for now.
