Clio dci reverse gear - AndyT
I've just noticed that when I select reverse gear and hold the clutch in, the 'throttle' has quite a sluggish response. Its fine in neutral and the forward gears.

I presume there's a reason, any ideas? Other dci owners?

I had noticed this the odd time during cold weather, as I reverse uphill out of my parking space and a diesel engine generally doesn't respond great with the first few lung-fulls of <5 degrees C air first thing in the morning.
