I have been driving the car the past two days and it is definitely jerking and shuddering at idle and even when driving, especially before it's had a chance to warm up. In addition, I detected a faint "whine" from the engine bay that sounds a bit like the noise in that video. I was definitely planning to take it in before, but now it's a no brainer I think.
Definitely take it in ASAP. My guess based on the other thread is injectors or HPFP. Good luck!!
