Default Tiptronic question on 99.5 1.8T

Hi, I got a 99.5 1.8T QTipS (about 1000 km so far). Yesterday, while I was driving, a dog suddenly ran out on the road so I had to brake suddenly and the car stopped fine and no problems with the dog either. The thing is that I noticed the transmission seems to be "jiggling" a bit. It gave the feeling that the car was about to stall (as in a manual), of course the car didn't stall or anything, but that's the closest that I could describe the feeling. So far my transmission has shifted very well and smoothly, and this is the first time that I had to brake suddenly, so I don't know if that's the only reason why the transmission would do that, still trying to shift down quickly perhaps? Does anyone have any insight on this matter? I was driving on the "D" gate, not the tiptronic side if that matter. Thanks...

I have 99.5 QTipS too. But don't have any problem so far. BTW, are you in US or Canada?

If you stopped hard, maybe that was the ABS? Was it wet out?

Default Re: I noticed this, dealer said it's normal.

A few others have experienced it too. Same response from dealer.

Same thing here, 99.5 Avant 1.8TQ tip. Only when braking hard to full stop.
