Pug..206 hesitating..help? - clachnacudden
Wondering if you have any suggestions over this 'perhaps' trivial matter..

I run a pug 206 (2001) 1.9 Diesel with 23,000 on the clock. A nice little runner so far but when I am in third/fourth gear crusing a 2000 RPM the car jolts back/hesitates for a split second until I accelarate..any ideas..?

The car has recently been serviced and does most of it's miles on the motorway between 60-75 mph. with no hesitations present..

If anything any suggestions would put my mind at rest..as I am due to have a long trip up to Scotland?

Cheers folks...

Craig

Maybe try some of HJ's recommended diesel additive Millers Dieselpower plus, also check if the fuel filter has been replaced, if not may be worth doing.

EGR valve I reckon....

If you know what you are doing/looking for, disconnect it.
