There may be some folk out there who have remembered the saga of my TD6 engine which has all sorts of issues following a dose (or doses) of diesel fuel that was blended with animal/vegetable oil plus it had 22 times the allowable limit of moisture.
Injectors were rebuilt (some replaced) but this took some time and was done over time as local dealer's fault finding was a bit less than I might have hoped for.
The last time I got the car back from them it had a knock in the engine which they said had nothing to do with them. An independant repair shop found they had left the boost sensor disconnected at the rear of the inlet manifold. Knock reduced now but still evident and this could be from bad fuel damaging a piston or as a result of the boost sensor having been left off for a few days.
All comments will be welcomed.
On top of that the auto has failed and the car has been with what I deem to be the best automatic transmission repair shop in my home state.
After fitting two rebuilt transmissions that were each dyno tested before installation the car has a shudder at around 90 kph which is around torque convertor lock-up speed. The torque convertor has also been re-built twice and they cannot find anything that would cause the shudder and now beleive that it is engine related.
The shudder is only evident at what I would call a critical speed and/or engine speed and then it disappears.
The complete driveline has been checked and all is OK.
Car has 114,000 kilometres on the clock and was purchased new.
Has anyone ever experienced such a fault?
