Hi all,
I've got a 2004 i-CTDI tourer which has developed a strange rev drop when accelerating, it only appears do to it in 4th gear. When accelerating the revs will reach around 2,500 RPM and drop back down to 2,000 RPM, then continue rising normally.
When it happens there is a slight change in the engine tone, but no physical effect, acceleration still feels smooth all the way up the range. I do wonder about the clutch but it (and the DMF) were replaced approx 25,000 miles back and it hasn't had much of a hard life since then.
Things to note:
The biting point does seem to be a bit high in the car, but apart from the first few hundred miles after having the clutch done it's always been fairly high (for my liking at least).
This years service is due in February, I'll be ordering the bits from Cox soon. It's always had a genuine Bosch fuel filter on it, could it possibly be that it's struggling to get enough fuel to the engine under acceleration in higher gears?
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Jim
