Hi all,
I've always had the noticeable 'stutter' when lifting off the accelerator at around 1500 rpm, usually at low speeds and usually downhill, like others have said.
However yesterday, on the M23 in the 50mph limit through the roadworks, with cruise set to 51mph, it started doing it constantly. After 2-3 seconds I took the cruise off and pulled into inside lane as it felt like the engine was going to die. Changed down a gear, and it was fine. Odd.
Then, later in the same journey, it did it again at 72mph. I left cruise on that time, just to see, and it just kept doing it until I cancelled cruise and dropped a gear. Quite unnerving as the whole car shakes and feels like the engine will cut - it's as if it's only firing on two cylinders.
I had it twice more on my return journey - both times at speed.
It's possible it's the same thing as the 'shudder' when lifting off the accelerator, but I've never experienced it at those speeds before.
No warnings or lights on the dashboard, and otherwise everything seems normal - except I've started getting a 'crack' noise every time I come off a large speed bump (even at a very slow speed) over the last couple of weeks.
Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas what it may be? No time to get to a dealer this week but guess I'll be headed there next week...
Cheers.
