BLK6T Member 305 Member For: 20y 6m 15d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 07/07/09 12:54 AM Share Posted 07/07/09 12:54 AM Hey all,Driving the car this morning and loving the cold air it was running really well, a couple of overtakes etc. When I got to suburbia and putting around I gave it a bit going into second and the car was shuddering slightly and there was no power when pressing the accelerator, changed to 3rd and went normal same with fourth. However when going back to 3rd it did it again, the slight shuddering and no power. It only shuddered under acceleration. It definitely feels like an issue in the engine somewhere but nothing I have heard of or experienced before.Has anyone else had this issue and if so what was it? Thanks for the help in advance.P.S had a bit of a run with a GTS last night, the thing sounded like VERY nice like a V8 should but wasn't enough for the mighty 4 year old T Although he had me off the line but my cold tyres cound't stick to the road.

Was fine inital but then after a few months would give it some WOT and would do the same thing. I have an auto though, so its kinda different.

If it becomes more frequent, maybe look into it.I doubt it's valve springs..

If not might get it checked out, but would be good to pin point the issue so can get it easily fixed. I have done 57,000 kms, im the second owner so not sure if the fuel filter has been done. Would failed coils or plugs have this symptom? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59314-weird-problem-today/#findComment-902522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be some bad fuel or something.Just see how it goes and see if it gets worse.I'll be keeping an eye on mine.

Eventually it got worse so everytime I accelerate and the boost begins to rise it shudders and loses power. I took it to fraud and they changed the fuel filter and checked some other things, not sure what but they haven't fixed the problem.
