A few times recently I have noticed a juddering whilst driving my 60 plate FR Diesel. Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar or could offer a view on what it could be.
As I say it's happened a couple of times, most recently was this morning. I was going along in 6th, slowed to let a car overtake a bike, dropped to about 40 so slipped into 4th to accelerate back up, as I pressed my foot down quite firmly the car gave 2 quite violent judders, foot off the accelerator, seemed fine - nothing on the dash, no bang, no smoke - so eased back on the pedal and all was fine.
I had a similar experience yesterday but was in 6th just under 1.5k rpm, barely accelerating at all a few lumpy judders, eased off then back on again and all seemed fine again.
Previous to that I had another occasion last week, similar to the one in 6th, again gentle acceleration bit of a momentary judder then all seemed fine again.
I've noticed this before but only rarely so has never bothered me, but 3 times in the space of a few days has made me wonder if something else might be up. Pretty sure its not related to regens as the idle speed was not up and besides I had a good run at the weekend that would've cleared any build up (I've never had the dpf light on)
The worst case of this I've had was after I had only had the car about 2 months, was driving slowly and the car was cold, a slight judder under gentle acceleration at low speed (2nd/3rd gear), stopped at some lights and had a really lumpy idle, pulled off, shifted to 2nd and really jerky, engine light came on and stalled. Got seriously worried, restarted with no problems watched/listened/felt as closely as I could for the next week or so and didn't skip a beat!
Sorry for the length of post. Just wondering if this is something that others have experienced? Misfires etc are well represented here in the 1.4tsi, but not seen anything on the diesels other than the regen/dpf problems.
Appreciate any thoughts....
