Hi all
So the new car has already started to give issues... Power steering cooling line burst (fixed that with a universal oil cooler from amazon - thanks for the idea ) , and the clutch master cylinder is on its way out.
It's a 2008 i-cdti tourer - 162k miles.
The current issue is a " jerk" when flooring it, almost always in 3rd, around 3500rpm. I've only had it happen in 4th once, and it was right after changing up. I was ***uming it was VSA - as one of the times I caught the VSA light flashing up, but since then it hasn't come on for this. It certainly feels a fair bit like the brakes suddenly engaged and then let off, very quickly. The revs hang for a second then it picks up and right up to speed - no more issues.
I have done some searching but I can't find anything that matches up - maybe the fuel filter? I have no service history whatsoever, just a promise from a dealer - who are useless...!
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
(Not sure if this belongs in Diesel faults - I kinda suspect it might. )
