I was expected the engine to rev up hard and wheel to spin but it looks like it has the smarts to detect when its slipping.

Which is great.

Anyone here with diesels, particularily manuals, when you change gear, when you release the throttle, it holds it momentarily before it drops down? If you go from off accelerator to clutch quickly, it actually revs up slightly then falls down.

Throttle response on these cars is crap, there is a big delay on it registering what you are doing with the accelerator, and it seems to vary, some days its bad, other days its fine, you can be pressing on the accelerator to bring up revs and go to release clutch, it will go to stall, clutch in, more accelerator, nothing, then it revs up hard if you go anymore.

Sometimes you can go 1/2 throttle and it won't rev up off idle, then it shoots up past 2K+ if you go anymore.

Or try clutch in and stomp on the accelerator quickly and release, it won't even rev.

No codes logged or lights showing on the dash.
