First post, C5 question!

Post by milleplod »

Afternoon all.

I've recently bought a very nice, one-owner, 70k miles C5 2.0HDI Exclusiver Tourer, an auto. It runs perfectly, I'm very pleased with it. :) However, I've noticed that if I close the throttle sharply....ie lift my foot off the accelerator suddenly....the engine seems to stutter slightly as the revs come off, almost like a misfire. If I lift my foot off more gently, it doesn't seem to do it. Low speed running is fine, acceleration is fine, and if its done the stutter and I then re-apply the accelerator, its fine. Its more of a minor niggle than anything else, my wife hasn't even noticed it....but minor niggles are....well....niggling!

Any ideas anyone? Is it a case of 'they all do that sir'?

Welcome to the forum. I am not able to offer advise on your niggle, but somebody will.

Hi, it sounds like you might have a sticky pedal cable or a sticking turbo actuator. she might need to be rallied a bit.

Ahh...interesting. I do believe it will have spent a fair bit of its time driven by a certain Miss Daisy....cue a blast or two methinks, just to see if it helps.... :-D
