07 2.0 Unusual throttle response - paulc924
After enjoying my Peugeot 306 for 8 years I bowed down to pressure and let my son have it. The new one is an A3 quattro 2 litre diesel which has a strange response. If I drive a little quickly into a bend it does not respond as I am used to in all my previous (Front Wheel Drive Cars) whereby I could lift off the throttle at the right time and the front end would bite in and I could steer the car round. If I try it with the new one when I back off the throttle the engine revs stay the same and I have to hit the brake to prevent me from overshooting. I haven't tried it with the Stability Programme switched off yet but this does not seem a safe situation. Have any others out there experienced the same thing? I also notice that this engine is similar to the old types of turbo diesels whereby there is no response until about 1800 revs and then it goes very well. My 306 was smooth from 1200 revs and a lot easier to drive quickly. Comments on both concerns would be very welcome. Thank you
