Been reading other people post about lack/drop/loss of power with there motors and after a dealer solved the issue I thought I would report/get peoples feedback on what was said. Yes Said, not done........
to explain... I have already had the MAF Sensor replaced under warranty, which WAS (the dealer said) faulty, and had the car ( TD4 on 05 plate ) back to the dealer three times after LR assist have looked at it twice...
So having been given the car back and told there is nothing wrong with it. I took it down to my local dealer to get them to see first hand what is happening now. Some 2 weeks after be given all clear, nothing wrong with it sir speach.The problem has arisen again...
On hill starts, I explain, this happens.... first gear, engage biting on clutch apply some gas and go to pull away,,, judder, judder judder... stall. start engine try again, judder, judder, drop of REVS give more gas lag lag lag comes alive and up the hill we go.
Ah, yes, says the service guy.... you'll never get rid of that they all do it. Its the velocity joint engaging and then the diff mixing up, hence the drop if power and stalling/lag before initial pick up...
Fine I thought, sounds like he knows what he's talking about, sounds a good theory... but we don't trust the car now... pulling out of Junctions is risky as we have to allow for the juddering. And frankly feel the car is a death trap...
Anyone shed any light on this??? is this the case are they all like this... Having driven more cars than hot dinners... never encountered such a thing before... and it starts to happen most of the time 15 minutes into a journey and the remainder there of...?
I await guidance...
Oh and we also have developed the lack of power above 70mph, although this is after approx 5 mins of motorway time before this happens.
Many many thanks for any help
