In the morning when I first drive my 2013 Passat TDI, the engine vibrates severely and I lose power when its about 1600-1800 RPM. After a few minutes, or so and I accelerate through the vibration, it runs fine and continues to run fine for the whole day, as though there was no issue. I took the car to the dealer and they had it for a week and told me the transmission was bad and it would cost $6000 to replace. I said no and I have a hard time believing that my transmission is bad, I think they just didn't know what was wrong because the engine was not giving the mechanics any codes. I have the emission fix, but it's been running fine since the fix and then this started to happen in December. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong and what I can do?
