Focus 1.8 Tdi 2007

[cheshirelad1976]

Hi, I have a 2007 Diesel Focus, I am experiencing problems when accelerating! If I bimble along the car runs fine as soon as I put my foot down and go over 3000RPM the car starts bunny hopping! If you take it steady you can sometimes drive through it and get above the 3000RPM. This has been happening for sometime so I'm happy its not a fuel problem! Any ideas??

Hi Stef123, thanks for your reply, it had a major service about 18 months ago. I dont use the car all that often it can stand idle for several weeks at a time to be honest. I am gonna service it this weekend so i'll give that a go!! If it works i will let you know! Thansk for the reply.
