cause it to "blue" with heat. Obviously worse on a hill. |

I had a clutch issue that if I rested my foot slightly on the clutch pedal the car would shudder as it accelerated I was told on the forum not to leave my foot on the pedal but release it as soon as I changed up a gear. Probably nothing to do with your problem but I just thought I would stick my two peneth in. Freelander 2 TD4 GS 2011 Manual Satorini Black (Current)

If nothing else it would accelerate wear on the release mechanism. Touch the clutch as little as possible! |

Was out in the car yesterday and noticed that the little jolt is most pronounced if I am changing from 1st to 2nd while turning - I only do this when coming onto a roundabout and generally only the small tight ones which still require a bit of speed. When 2nd is engaged feels like someone gives it a wee push and kick from the back. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Cobbet, good to hear someone else has something similar. Have you ever had it looked at?

I can confirm that I have 'the jolt' too between 1-2.

It's not like driving a petrol, you guys just need more driving experience

My gearbox feels totally different to the loaner FL2s I've had it the diesel A4 I have. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues 2019 DS. Terribly unreliable. Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed.... Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎 Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be… |
