Hi
I bought a 2006 fiat punto grande 1.9 diesel yesterday, drove home 100 miles and on route the car was lumpy and jumpy through 2500rpm and 3000rpm
I have never owned a diesel before and would be very appreciative for some advise on how to fix this
And the basic things it could be
Thank you for your time
Darb

Was this a private sale or from a dealer?

If from a dealer, take it back for them to fix or reject it and get your money back.

Your problem is that whatever the dealer is willing to do, at least one 200 mile round trip is involved.

As you will find from many posts on here, second hand diesels which are out of manufacturer's guarantee are not recommended due to the many problems they may have (DPF, DMF, injectors, fuel pumps etc) .

You could be lucky, may just need a fuel filter change (but if so, why didn't the seller do this inexpensive fix first?)
