Hi,
Car: DS3 DSport THP
So, this seems to be getting worse and worse and it's mainly when the engine is cold but still happens at normal temperatures.
When idling, the car whole car shakes pretty bad though the revs seem to hold steady. This morning when i was warming the car up i was tapping the accelerator and as the revs fell the car shaked really bad and it felt like the car was almost going to stall! This time the rev dropped pretty low and took a second to recover to the normal RPM.
Not sure if it's related but the exhaust splutters a lot too, like it's misfiring.
I've got it scheduled in with Kidlington for next week (Unfortunately, the garage a few minutes from my house no longer do diagnostics on Citroen cars due to them no longer selling them!)
Any ideas on what this could be? Not sure if it's misfiring or whether it could be the high-pressure fuel pump? Any other checks you think i could do?
The car has 36k on the clock and i've only had it a month. It's already been in for a timing chain replacement!
Power does seem down. Takes ages for boost to kick in... On top of that at random times my clutch does this:
Any help would be appreciated.
