Help Please

Dear All,

I have recently got my first Suzuki, a 2016 Vitara 1.6.
I'm very happy with the car apart from one issue.
From cold, the clutch seems to judder when pulling away in first gear for the first mile or so and then the judder goes away.
I took it back to the Suzuki dealer under warranty and they kept it for a couple of days but returned it saying it was fine.
I have read a couple of reports that it could be an oil leak or water getting into the clutch mechanism when the car is parked.

I'm really hoping someone will have experience of this and could offer me some advice, for which I would be very grateful.

With best regards,

John

I'd get them to put a new clutch in. Why not? It's under warranty. If they refuse ask for your money back. Clutch should not judder at all unless there's something very wrong with it.

We had a fiat that leaked oil onto the clutch, it didn’t judder it slipped
