Hi all,
I am at wits end a little.
About a Month ago my MD Diesel Ambiente [Aug 2015 built, 130000 km], started getting a severe Shudder and Vibration during Acceleration. It usually starts at 80km/h entering and accelerating like going onto a Freeway, Over Taking or going uphill, the Shudder stops as soon as I lift my Foot off the Fast Pedal. It is not confined to the Steering Wheel, but it goes through the whole Car.
The Car was at Ford and all Engine and Transmission Mounts were checked and found to be OK, the Car is being serviced at Ford all the Time. The Dealer took it to a Tyre Specialist as they suspected a Tyre Fault, unbalanced Wheels or Misalignment. All was "adjusted" to correct Spec, but as soon as I picked up the Car and drove up Lapstone Hill [ Blue Mountains ], the Shudder was back, all that changed was, that it now starts to shudder at around 90km/h.
WooHoo!
It happens in D and S, warm or cold makes no Difference.
As they Car has high k's and is less than 2 Years old, the Dealer is at a Loss too as there wouldn't be too many young High Km Cars around with possible similar Problems, that would only surface with "normal" Drivers after Years of Motoring.
Any thought would be appreciated
thanks
