Juddering/vibrating on hills and a few there issues!
Hello guys hope you Can help me out..
Just bought a D3 2007 V6 HSE
I have noticed that on hill climbs and sometimes not the car will start juddering or vibrating and seems like ere is a lack of power. My last D3 I owned a 05 model had a good kick t it when I put the pedal down hard and would take off quick, this car does not have that oomph to it!
Also when I take my foot off the accelerator there is almost a whining noise at I didn't notice on my last D3!
What could this be?
Also I have a message displayed when I start up and while driving which says "bonnet open" when the bonnet is actually closed! When I lock the car via central locking the horn honks once which didn't happen on my other D3! Related to bonnet??
It's a left hand drive also..
All help and advice is appreciated !

Switch under right bonnet catch needs cleaning with WD40 or similar. Sometimes they need replacing but cleaning and exercising it usually does the trick. You can also short it out as a temporary measure.
The central locking will work fine once the catch is fixed.
