blujein Member 56 Member For: 15y 1m 23d Gender: Male Location: ACT, Australia Posted 21/04/10 10:34 PM Share Posted 21/04/10 10:34 PM I've had my new FG Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo for a fortnight now, and twice when I've started it in the morning it's given a 'shudder' for a few seconds. It's only light, but it is a noticeable jerk back and forth.Is this something to be concerned about, or is it a characteristic of the car, such as a build-up of the turbo?

I get this shudder too, every so often.First time was the same day after my tune.Shuddered as I started the car and put it in reverse. I turned car off then waiting a minute, turned it back on and everything was sweet..That was about year ago.Then it happened only for the second time yesterday as I was leaving for work - same thing, got the shudder as I started car then put it into reverse. Turned off and on, no probs.Mines a BA by the way.

Mine has only done it when it's been put straight in to reverse after I turn it on, as well. I haven't switched it off to get rid of the shudder when it's done it, though, as it seems to correct itself after ten seconds or so.I hope it's not something I should be worried about.

After 10 sec its fine. I hope its not anything serious.

jaymen Member 57 Member For: 16y 8d Gender: Male Posted 22/04/10 12:38 AM Share Posted 22/04/10 12:38 AM Yeah my BF MKII does the same every time I start it since I've had it custom tune & bigger injectors installed but within 10-15 sec it's gone it runs normal.... since I live down the south coast I haven't had a chance to take it back to CV performance to get it checked out, it feels like the timing is out & then after 10-15 sec the computer fixes it that's my opinion anyway Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67703-slight-shudder-experienced-on-start/#findComment-1002390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing after-market on it.Much like yourself, berzerker, this is the only issue with my car so I can't link it to anything else.
