Unfortunate Shudder when pulling away!

[DS3 Mum]

Hi I wonder if anyone out there has had the same experience? I have just bought a DStyle Airdream 90bhp diesel. Unfortunately after the first use with my two children and husband aboard I noticed an annoying shudder whilst pulling away and in slow stop start traffic - otherwise no issues!

I went back to the dealer (Lookers) and said I was unhappy. The car has 36k miles and is 3 years old in September. They agreed to sort out the car which involved, in the end, them paying for a new clutch installed by the lCitroen main dealer. Unfortunately this did not sort out the issue and the flywheel was then changed. Again the problem is still there!

The dealer has booked the vehicle again, with Citroen dealer, as the final guess is engine mount/s need changing! Has anyone else had this problem or can give any further thoughts.

If the car is not right this time we will refuse it which is a shame as apart from this I love my DS3!

Possibly the Engine and/or Gearbox mounts

Yeah I too have a 90bhp diesel . Mine does this has well

[DS3 Mum]

Did you not query it?

[MARK.A]

Yeah I have at my local dealer waiting for a reply back has mines over 3 years old and I'm 2nd owner it's only done 23000 miles . but it don't do it all the time I have had a look it seems to me it's the bottom gearbox mount

[DS3 Mum]

Is this issue recognized by anyone else or is it just unfortunate?

I've started to notice it on mine. It's stalled twice since I've noticed it happening - which hasn't been very long. I have the same engine too.

Mum. Tolerate a couple go's of trying to resolve it, then give it back and get another :-)

Unfortunate Shudder when pulling away!

Right got car back 2 hrs ago from dealers lower engine mount has been changed yesterday but still had judder. They then under warranty changed the clutch and flywheel to still find out that they had the judder . So there next step was to do a download to computer of car and do what they call a fuel injector learning program car still has judder they then took out the fuel injectors to find that 1 of them was sticking open so replaced it And road tested it the car does seem better. But I can only say I need to give it more time to test but so far. It seems ok So it might be worth ds3mum. Going to your local Citroen garage and ask how much they would be charging for a :-- injector learning program and download ) should be able to be done through warranty

I had this on my old car so changed it for a 110 dsport + as they told me it was normal in the ds3's. I wasnt happy with this and the new one doesn't do it
