Hi all,
I have a Seat Arosa 1.4tdi (pd engine) for my daily and in the last week or so it has started to judder during gentle acceleration within the first ten minutes or so of driving. It doesn't normally last too long and once warmed up I don't notice any problems. It feels like an intermittent misfire but when I put my foot down it picks up and accelerates fine.
I did wonder if it could be the fuel filter but surely that would be more pronounced on full throttle?
I've done a bit of a search and found some sort of similar problems but mainly full throttle issues or problems getting up hills. As this is at the moment it goes when I need it to but isn't very nice to drive gently for a few minutes when warming up.
I don't know a huge amount about diesels but I'm hoping some of you good folk might have some ideas?
Planning on a service this weekend anyway if I can find time but I'm not convinced that will sort it.
Thanks
Nick
