'09 2.0Hdi Query.

[milleplod]

My 70k miles, 2.0HDi auto runs perfectly, I'm very pleased with it. However, I've noticed that if I close the throttle sharply....ie lift my foot off the accelerator....the engine seems to stutter slightly, almost like a misfire. If I lift my foot off more gently, it doesn't do it. Low speed running is fine, acceleration is fine, if its done the stutter and I then re-apply the accelerator, its fine.

 

Any ideas anyone? Is it a case of 'they all do that sir'?

When's the last time the car had a service . Had mine doing that now and again then went in for full service oil change fuel filter etc it drove like a new car when I pulled away from the garage

Thanks for the reply.

 

I've only owned the car for a few weeks - it was last serviced about 9 months/6k miles ago. The receipt shows oil and filter, air filter, cabin/pollen filter all done - no sign of a fuel-filter change though.

 

I'm wondering if there's some sort of gadget (that's not working!) that prevents the throttle 'snapping' shut when I lift off the accelerator sharply, bearing in mind that if I lift off gently, there's no stuttering. Its a very slight irritation more than anything else - my wife's not noticed it at all!

If the car is manual, check DMF dual mass flywheel.
