I have been driving my new 500L 1.6 diesel for a few weeks now and have to say I’m loving it. But there is one thing that puzzles me.
Quite often (though not all the time), when driving along on a flat road I notice that the car will just saunter along at a steady 20 or 30 without me touching the accelerator. It’s like I was in cruise control, tho’ I’m not. I 'regain manual control' by going down a gear or pressing the brake.
The garage I bought it from tells me that it’s a very ‘torque-y’ engine and this is normal. But I’ve never had a car before that does this. Does anyone here have a similar experience?
Thanks.
