To coin a phrase - when did you last change the fuel filter?

Could be the coil pack (ignition) or HT leads.

thank you for correcting me, have never had a citroen & never knew what hdi meant although didn't notice it anyway, on a petrol car that's a definite symptom as I very well know!

When I had petrol filter clog, it would hesitate only at speed when I wanted to change down and accelerate away. Come to think of it, coil pack tended to be more of a symptom from low speed or moving off. So yes it sounds more like the fuel filter for the citroen,.
