RobD42 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi All I have a 2014 Forester 2.0d XC diesel manual UK right hand drive. Only had it 2 months with 34,000 miles on the clock. It jerks a lot when feathering the accelerator, e.g. when cornering slowly in built up areas, or approaching a speed hump. It is most noticeable when in second gear, but has happened in first and third. It seems to be at 0% to 2% accelerator position (set up on the multi what ever it's called.) It doesn't matter whether the engine is hot or cold. If I increase the revs or when accelerating normally it doesn't happen. I have trouble replicating the problem. It just usually takes me by surprise. I suspect a dirty diesel filter possibly. Can't find a how to guide or video for cleaning or changing the under-bonnet fuel filter. Apart from DRIVE FASTER. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD42 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Update. Just realised that the jerking / chugging only happens when the Air conditioning is on. Hope this helps with a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
