Hi
Note: tham I am driving a manual 6 speed 2.0tdi 150.
Lately I have done some observations in various situations, depending of the setting of CRD-T(trevor), and I would like
to know if I’m the only one who has experienced this or if you have experienced similarities.
When it happens, it feels like the engine is shaking, and you can feel it in the whole car and you instantly loose torque.
I have had situations in 6th gear, running about ~95 km/t (60mph), and I overtake without shifting down to 5th, but accelerating,
then suddenly the engine shakes as if it is not getting enough fuel/pressure – extremely unpleasant. The engine temperature
doesn’t seem to matter as I have experienced it a few times when I have been driving for more than 1 hour.
I would say that it happens when you are putting more load on then engine during acceleration, like going slightly uphill, doesn’t even
need to be steep – just slightly.
So far I have only seen it on Map 3+2, whereas I have now changed to Map 3+1 again.
To a very little extent, I have noticed similarities on Map 1+1 and 2+1 when starting from a total stand still in 1st, there’s a small judder,
but no where near what it feels like when you are cruising at 95km/t.
Perhaps some of you with more technical insight might be able to explain what could be happening and why?
I have an ELM327 unit and no fault codes is showing – nor is any of the sensor reporting something bad, so my suspicions is targeted
towards the setting of CRDT/Trevor.
This might be a coincidence by different things, but I know that when I had just fitted the box, I also noticed it once up-hill.
This was before I even tried to floor the pedal, which I havent been doing much of anyway and very rarely does - so it could be a
fault of the gear box/engine which could would have come in any case - box or not box mounted.
