Volvo xc60 2010 Jolting/jerking at low acceleration

Muhammad · Jul 7th, 2017, 23:54

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help or has experienced the same problem
I have a
Volvo xc60 manual diesel 2010 R3 2.0
No lights on dash
In low gears 1st 2nd and early 3rd if I keep gentle acceleration on the car it jolts/jerks. It doesnt happen if I accelerate quickly or driving at high speeds 30mph+. Sometimes if I accelerate quickly the car may hesitate but then picks up smoothly.
No lights on dash no messages on screen. Car has been serviced recently with all filters changed
Could it be the injectors? Should I try an injector cleaning liquid?
My experience is that problems like these if taken to dealers or priv workshops is like opening a can or worms
Any advice/experience please share
Thanks alot

What fuel are you using - it might be worth trying Shell V Power diesel - it is claimed to clean the injectors (and any thing else that it can get to )

Iv used usual diesel and the problem came back. Should I use REDEx advanced injector fuel system cleaner or should I keep refueling with the same Shell V power? That station is ata adiatanve from home so I thought may be REDEX may sort this for good?

You need at least 3 full tanks to get full advantage of Shell V Power
