Hi All,
I purchased a late 2014 4x4 1.3 multijet about a month ago and have a question regarding an issue/characteristic;
when accelerating from 1500rpm (more so in higher gears) the engine vibrates quite a bit until it reaches around 1750rpm then it is perfectly smooth, this is much worse when going up hill, just wondered if this was normal or not?
Im guessing it doesn't have a dual mass flywheel as the rev counter doesn't fluctuate when letting off and reapplying the throttle in gear.
Should add that I'm used to driving a new Vauxhall vivaro which will quite happily pull from just over 1000rpm, I know its a totally different engine and has things like a VNT turbo and square bore/stroke ratio.
Any advice appreciated
James
