Hi I'm new here and new to tdi I have a 2008 vw jetta 2.0tdi 6speed manual. At idle the car shakes. When looking at the car engine you can see the right side moving only on idle though. There is some times a chattering noise that goes along with it I presume because when you take the reves above 1000 both problems stop but the don't happen together all the time. I have recently serviced oil, filter, fuel. And its had a polly dog bone Bush insert, none of this has made a difference thanks for reading.

It could be engine related or motor mounts. Did you look at the motor mounts? At least you can inspect them visually.

when you push clutch in does it make a difference? and a stock clutch correct?
