Title: judder
Post by: iann41 on April 09, 2008, 08:28:33

I get a judder when i give the discovery 300 tdi any heavy throttle above 3000 rpm. feels like fuel starvation. below 3000 or light accelerating throttle and everything is fine. could this be air in the fuel lines/somewhere?
thx Ian

Could be air being sucked in.

When did you last change fuel filter? Remember there is one near the tank as well as the under bonnet one. Also check your fuel lift pump.

thanks for that. i checked the filter under the tank and it was 1/4 full of crud. the motor seems to be ok now.
