Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can bring about this sort of impression, both at idle and when accelerating.

Let’s take the most interesting circumstance for us in this content page. The fact that you experience trembling on your Citroen Cactus during your acceleration periods, in this scenario you will have to check the condition of several elements because various of elements can be at the source of these vibrations and whether or not you are unlucky a mix of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be concerned.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Citroen Cactus is defective, it may bring about vibrations that you will feel when you accelerate at the moment it is running.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will manage the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may affect the performance of your turbo and bring about vibrations that you may experience within the acceleration of your Citroen Cactus.

If, on the other hand, you realize that your Citroen Cactus vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of components to check:

  • EGR valve: In reality this valve which controls the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disturb the evacuation of exhaust gases which can bring about Citroen Cactus vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will discharge the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working correctly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running effectively.

To finish , in this last section, we will provide you the answers available to you to get over these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt depending on the part that is involved:

So make sure to check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Citroen Cactus to your mechanic.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is generally easy to access and easy to take apart/clean. You can always take a look at it and clean it, for this see our content page on cleaning the EGR valve of an Citroen Cactus.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very delicate parts and a few impurities may be enough to disturb their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a specialist.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, just replace it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will only have to replace it with a new one.
