hi all .im having an issue with this car its a 2010 1.6 tddci 108 bhp i just bought it a month ago , just noticed at low revs below 2k in a change from 1st to second , there is sometimes a chugging when the accellerator is let off , it goes away as soon as the accellerator is pressed again , i rode motorcycles for years and it feels like the problem you get on a bike from a worn cush drive rubber , its like there is backlash from the clutch or flywheel does anyone have any idea or am i not making sense thanks

    Morning Kieran. I'm thinking maybe the Clutch and DMF?? This can cause lots of noises and knocks/squeaks etc. Unfortunately it's an expensive job!! I'm no expert or mechanic so obviously get a second opinion. Hopefully it's not that!

    Hope you get sorted out,

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Tbh it sounds like you're just labouring the engine, these really don't like low rpm and anti-stall in my experience!

    If it was the DMF you'd more than likely have other problems such as a heavy pulsing through the pedal or a loud clatter.
