Well, a month now into my Bravo ownership and i have noticed a couple of faults...

The first and most annoying is a clunk, every time i turn either left of right. Iv'e identified it to be coming from a metal cylinder that is connected via a linkage to the brake pedal, sliding left and right as i turn. Said cylinder runs across to the passenger side where the brake servo is located. Any idea's why its moving?

Secondly, i have a judder... It's under acceleration (not necessarily hard) in 5th and most noticeably in 6th (in 4th too but only up hills). However, its only under 1400 RPM (1.9 M-Jet 150) or 50MPH in 6th, then after 1400 RPM or 50MPH its completely normal. Is this normal (a sign of me labouring the engine) or do i have an issue? This judder can be quite violent in 6th around 12-1300 RPM while accelerating, easily noticeable to passengers.

Finally, the engine sometimes feels as if its holding back a bit. It'll "kick in" where the turbo comes in fully, around 2000RPM, but then it feels like it holds itself back a little. After some hard driving, this fault does seem to subside, but a coupla days later re-appears. I've fully cleaned the EGR valve and the pipe that feeds into it, which improved response slightly but did not solver the problem.

Sorry for the long post!! Any advice for these issues will be greatly appreciated. I want to get them fixed now, as I have a years worth of warranty to use!

Thanks again!


Edit: Forgot to mention, the car is a Bravo 150 Multijet Sport. 08 Plate with just over 26,000 Miles now

I would say you are in too low rev off boost

I experienced vibrations at certain RPM's and had to have the driveshaft bearing and dual mass flywheel replaced. Symptomns were 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, whenever I went up a slight incline enough that you could feel the revs drop but not sufficient to require a downshift a vibrating noise could be heard, best I can describe it is a kid running a stick along a set of banister rails or something. Wasnt really noticeable however, only if you listened out for it and I couldnt feel it, only hear it.

I had issuses (power and flat spot/juddering) with my 1.9 mj sport 150 and the fault was injector number 4 leaking and needed a complete injectot number 1 (£430)... Sorry.. get it checked asap could get a lot worse

Hmmm... This is more of a rhythmic judder, but not one like i am too low in the rev range as the car still pulls well, it doesn't struggle. Its hard to describe lol
