Revs "jumping" in 1.4 tdci fiesta

    Hi Guys,

    I have a strange problem in my fiesta where when you are accelerating up through the gears the revs get very jumpy and it feels as if the car is getting bursts of acceleration.

    Once you get up to cruising speed it is less apparent but sometimes still happens would anyone have any ideas? Had it plugged in at a ford garage a couple of months ago but no faults were found.

    If you need any more info just ask.
    Any help would be great guys thanks!!

    A good cleaning of your EGR valve might sort some of the issues. Check this YT clip, you can skip most of the middle of it as hes just spraying cleaner into it the valve and revving the engine. Watch the results of the work from 8.50 onwards. It's in french, but you get the idea. :)
    It's a focus but use the same method on your fiesta.

    I may be wrong but I reckon it could the the clutch on the way out. Something similiar was on an older fiesta I had before.

    Could it be the clutch slipping?
