DIESEL / Bunny hopping when temp hits 18+°
« Last post by vivih 11 minutes ago »Hi everyone, please bear with me...this is my first post.
My 2012 CRDi blue drive active has taken to bunny hopping when temperatures get to around 18°C (& above).
It starts up ok in all weathers and doesn't do this in cold/cool weather, just when the mercury starts to rise.
There's no particular speed at which it gets worse/better, and causes a bit of drag on the acceleration/drive, but then seems to settle down after a few minutes (maybe 5?)
It's as if fuel is struggling to get through, but I can't understand this as I thought fuel got thinner in warmer weather and therefore flows easier (please correct me if I'm wrong...and if this is indeed the problem I have 🙈).
It's frustrating, but also concerning as I work 15 miles from home, travelling on one the regions busiest motorways.
Has this happened to anyone else, or can anyone shed some light on what it might be?
Thanks
