Jaguar X Type 2.2 Diesel Auto - Irratic Idling - rocketdancer

I have a 14 month old 2.2 Diesel x type auto and have noticed occasionally the engine will diviate from its usual rock solid idle of 750rpm and jumps to about 900rpm but is also irratic. When this fault condition occurs it is also accompanied with odd behaviour like slight lack of imediate power when putting your foot down and also uncharacteristic gear changes.

Any advise would be appreciated. Cheers

I think this is related to the DPF. the engine will sometimes overfuel to clear out the filter system. Do you do much driving in town ? Perhaps you need to give it an italian tune up

Thanks for advise, I'll give it a good blow and see what happens.
