  • HDI 115 accelerates quicker when foot isn't all the way down?

    I'm sure I'm not just imagining this. It feels like it accelerates quicker when my foot is only half way down. Has anyone else noticed this?

      I haven't noticed this in either the 110 or the 115 eHDI

        It definitely feels sluggish to me. But if I put my foot half way down it flies. Maybe with my foot down it's forcing too much gas into the engine so then it takes longer to accelerate? I guess it would be smoother with less gas? Does that make sense lol

          Maybe your pressing the break as well...

              I don't know what to say as I've never ever experienced this, I don't follow the too much gas theory either

                    I think this better explains it... When I put my foot down I've checked and it does actually accelerate quicker. But you can't feel that there's a lot of torque. When I put it only half way you can feel the torque a lot more. So what I'm saying is it feels faster, although it isn't.

                      I'm heading out later this morning, I'll try and replicate this Chris, I'm 100% certain that I've never experienced this

                          Yep, my 110 E-Hdi Dsport Plus also feels like this at some points. however i'm having trouble with something on the car, possibly the turbo at the moment. (yet to be seen too)

                            Hmm.. Maybe there's something wrong with my turbo too?

                              Ok, update - I just drove 80 odd miles to another office on the Motorway and couldn't reproduce this in my eHDI 115. I tried full acceleration, partial acceleration when in traffic but no luck sorry
