Fuel starvation over speedbumps...?!
Noticed something strange with my V70 these last few weeks, wondered if it’s normal, or indicative of a problem...
When traversing severe full-width speedbumps (the sort of ones you can only really approach at 5-10mph, on access roads or car parks for example, very aggressive ones), I get a couple of seconds of juddering (as if the engine’s starved of fuel) after each one. Never experienced this before in 3+ years / 50,000 miles? Only happens over one particular set of speedbumps, happens in 1st and 2nd gear (obviously more pronounced in 1st), full-tank or half-tank still happens, no other problems at any other time (or over any other speedbumps, eg the 3-separate-across-the-road type). I’ve basically only noticed as I’ve been going to a different gym and every time arriving / leaving, I’m getting this judder after the speedbumps. Really strange; is the fuel pick-up in a strange place on a V70? Anything I need to get looked at...?

Random suggestion but, watch your dash for traction control light flicking on as you go over the bumps/experience the judder.
If your ABS or DSTC is kicking in at low speed it can feel very similar. Last edited by tommyweaves; May 11th, 2019 at 17:30. |

Thanks Tommy; not sure it’s this, definitely no lights on the dash...
