I have a FL Leon 1.5 eTSI. The rattling started at around 2,000 km. At first, it only happened when going uphill, during the 1st-to-2nd gear shift — there was a rattling noise, but no jerking.

At 3,000 km, I went to the dealership for an oil change and showed them this video:
. They said it was "normal."

Now I'm at 6,000 km, and the rattling has become louder. Sometimes the car also stutters/jerks between 1st and 2nd gear, and it now happens even on a flat road, not only when going uphill.

At the inspection, they still said there were no problems with the car.

Has anyone had the same issue? Was it eventually fixed? Is this actually considered normal for this gearbox, or should I keep pushing the dealership to investigate and fix the problem? If so, what exactly should I ask them to check or do?
