johnford Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi, everything I drive the car in certain gears and revs it will jerk, I know it's not the engine struggling as it's in the correct gears for example 2nd gear at 1600 revs approx. Any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 When you say it jerks do you mean the engines missing and therefore causing it to jerk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnford Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah it seems like it, it feels like it is lagging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregers Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 does it need an 'Italian tune up'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Welcome to the family! I would say the year and issue is likely to be either EGR related, or potentially DPF, but moreso EGR IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi, everything I drive the car in certain gears and revs it will jerk, I know it's not the engine struggling as it's in the correct gears for example 2nd gear at 1600 revs approx. Any ideas?? Welcome! Petrol?, diesel?, engine capacity? I can confidently say its not the DPF if its a petrol-engined car and it won't be the coil packs if its a diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 haha, very true, I must admit I am assuming its diesel related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnford Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Haha sorry guys it's a 1.8 tdci so definatly diesel, so I've done the filter and still no joy, see I'm not sure if my time turbo could be doing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Easiest way to tell is to get and fit an egr blank plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
