Hi,

exactly the same problem with Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI. I found out that in winter (low temperature) there is no problem but when the temperature is more than 12C the mild shuttering is back.

Anyone suggest what to look at in engine?

Stuttering when warm could be cam sensor. Coxy, what year is your motor?

Hi thanks for reply my focus is a 2012 1.6 tdci took it to the local ford dealer last week and they said the car needed a software upgrade [whatever that was] since getting the car back it has done it once but this time i was doing 75 and suddenly the car ran rough for a few seconds and then carried on as normal not sure what to do now any suggestions ?

Pcm upgrades can improve the performance do worth doing but it depends on the cost
