Hello,
Well I've gone through everything I can think of with regards to the rough / lumpy idle on my 200tdi. I have checked and then re-echecked the timing, re-conned my injectors, installed a new IP and even re-plumbed my entire fuel line with nylon pipe and brass compression fittings and still no joy. All pipes and hoses are new, no delamination and the engine is well serviced.
I have however, noticed that the lumpy idle problem ONLY occurs when I am stationary with the vehicle pointing up hill. It idles fine on the flat, or when facing down hill. I have also realised that when slowly coming off the clutch in first gear, or when crawling in first gear, my 90 is kangarooing quite a lot. Could this be a clutch binding issue? If I had a warped clutch plate or a high spot, could it bind as the engine idles, slowing the engine down momentarily, creating a rough idle?
I really am a bit clueless now!
Thanks
-Tom
