diesel acceleration

Anyone had a fault where diesel engine warm, moving off from junction. Floor the throttle and vehicle just sits there for what seems like an age before it decides to move off.
Dealer tries to tell me its turbo lag!!!

This was fixed for me when I had all the VEP work done on mine.

Look at this thread for the details.

2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Hi
You dont seem to have many replies so i thought i would. The flat spot you talk of is terrible. I had it on my D3 and now on my RRS. My mate just picked up his 07 RRS 2 weeks ago and it's exactly the same. I think it's that bad i would almost describe it as bloody dangerous. I had a test drive in a TDV8 last week and that had it as well. I think it's a combination of turgo lag and a dim witted gearbox that cant decide on a gear. I have written to Land Rover about it, i will post the reply if i get one.

Ta !st Edition RRS S/C, Black on Black.

RRS HSE, Java, Alpaca, Bluetooth, Dynamic Pack, SC Grill, Black Badges, tints all round.

There is no getting away from that turbo-lag, but after I had my car re-programmed by Turbo-Chip there was a real improvement in both performance and cutting down the delay time, although that did mean I couldn’t finish War and Peace when going round the 4,921 roundabouts in Milton Keynes...with the turbo-delay I always had ample reading opportunities.

Obviously, in a perfect world the problem wouldn’t exist but it does ...think about getting Turbo-chip to do their stuff.

mine does this too. had a few close shaves pulling onto roundabouts - becomes unpredictable as to your pull-away capabilities... sometimes its great, then other times your heart misses a beat!

I think it may be that the gearbox chooses 2nd gear too quickly (I thknk it often occurs if you pull away slightly, hesitate then put your foot down)..?

When your at a "STOP" at a junction - select 1st manually - should be ok then

I have had this problem to. I also notice my power in general is down. I had the adaptions reset on the car and that helped a lot, however it has happened again

I tend to use the sport mode a lot for pull aways and has become 2nd nature - was far more hesitant when first drove the RRS after the 330Ci - it was like my driving style had aged 20 years...
