Rumbling on full throttle

wrighty · 01-23-2010, 11:32 AM

Just come down the motorway back from the trafford centre and the car was awesome, Im sure the crisp cold air helped it was pulling like a train. I have had some quick cars but this is quick once rolling.
Anyway I have a rumble on full throttle and the best way to explain it is like a change of road surface when I give it full beans like a slight vibration. Just wondering if any of you guys have any ideas as the warranty is coming to an end soon.
Im going to have my remap checked again soon make sure everything is fine there.

Is it not just a characteristic of your V6 3ltr diesel engine or has it only just started happening?

The car is a straight 6 not V6. Mine does not 'rumble' on full throttle but is not chipped either. Are you sure it is a rumble not a growl like induction noise?

Right, it sounds like ''Transmission rumble'' although strange you have it under full throttle.

I have only experianced it at low speeds, high gear. When the box is highly loaded.

May I ask whether your car is mapped?

I also agree, mine with this cold weather and good decent road grip has been going like STONK!

I wouldnt be too worried, count yerself lucky. Most denzils sound like a sack of conkers in a cement mixer.

Some things are best kept behind closed doors m8. Id be inclinded to give the gear stick a good wash after that sort of caper.

Yep its mapped, maybe something in there is not liking the extra load. Better renew the warranty
