Have you switched out your plugs? Maybe a vaucum line. Is your CEL on?

I had a real slight vibration on my B6. I just happened to mention it to the dealership when I took it in for another warranty issue and sure enough they found something and now it idles smooth as butter. It was a mount underneath the car that only shifted every so often and caused a small shudder.

Did you purchase from dealer or someone else? I'm thinking to purchase one for my B6 3.0. Do you mind if I ask how much and what is covered?
