v6 juddering

**jasv6** · 29th December 2009, 13:36

hello all i know there is a lot of threads on this but i couldnt find 1 that suited mine, i have a slight judder at 1400rpm to 1700rpm only really notice it in 5th and 6th, its a 3.0 v6 CDTI 55 plate z30 DT engine. no limp mode no spanner light had service in august the mileage is 73000. you also notice it when revving it standing still holding the revs at 1500rpm. if it is DMF i better get it done soon as its still under warranty

any ideas???

From threads I've read mate, and I'm hoping it'll aply to mine too as it's doing the same, the cambelt tensioners are the cause. I'm getting mine done in March so hopefully it should fix it...

no loss of power though ?

Nah, just vibration as you accelerate through 1500rpm in the higher gears...

yeah you will have to let me know on that 1. seems to have got worse but i dont have to do the cambelt untill 100,000 but i will be doing it at 95,000 just as a precaution

Mine's on 87 now, getting it done at the same time as 100k service and first MoT in march so I don't have to worry about anything for a while...

My car has a knackered DMF and you can hardly notice the vibration when revving it standing still holding the revs at 1500rpm. It was much worse before I replaced the injectors and weirdly the cambelt too.

same on my 54 plate, changing the camblet and tesioners next service, which is 80K, a bit early but never been happy leaving cambelts until they are supposed to be done. what i have noticed is that when i treat the car to bottle of 'FORTE' its stops juddering for a month !!!!!!!!!!!!!.
