apologies i think my original post went to the wrong group. Still getting the hang of this….

Good morning all. I have a 1.6 TDCI econetic and when letting off the throttle on deceleration couple seconds later  there feels like a jerk/ mass feedback through the car. I suspected the lower gearbox mount so changed that but made no difference. Hard to explain but thats the best i can come up with. Anyone else had the same problem or heard of it before would really help 

 

thanks in advance 

If it's the 8v engine, I had exactly the same problem with it in a 2012 Focus.  Made slow manoeuvres and carparks uncomfortable.  I also replaced the gearbox mount which made no difference.

Eventually I sold it and bought something more refined.  I suspect it's just poor ECU mapping.  At the time I did consider having a PCM update from Ford, but the cost & hassle outweighed the benefit for me, especially as there was no certainty of any improvement.

Atleast you understood what i meant 😂 but ok looks like ill have to grin and bear it for now then

Just had a dyslexic moment !

I read "if it's the V8 engine......." Was thinking my God he's got a V8 engine in a Fiesta 🤣🤣 Need to put my glasses back on.

Hello all,

Suspect you're right Tom about the poor mapping... but for another angle, for what it's worth I had a 2011 econetic and the software update did improve it noticeably, with less jerky 'stepped' delivery. So you may not have to grin and bear it, Ryan... 🙂 up to you of course.

🤓

I have forscan, do you think this “software” would be available to install myself?

In a word "No"

Ok well i will have to grin and bear it for now, slightly annoying 😂
