Hi all. In the last couple of days the cars started juddering when accelerating. We've noticed it happens when you release the accelerator slightly and put back on.
It doesn't happen all the time though, it's intermittent.
If I had to describe it, It almost feels as though it's going to stall (but it doesn't) I've had to either gear down or apply more revs to push through it and it keeps going.
The glow plug light came on really briefly the other day whilst driving but was only on for a matter of seconds and went back off and hasn't come back on since.
So I've had it in garage today on the diagnostics and it threw a fault code out for the fuel temperature sensor. I got the new sensor straight away, took it back to garage, they replaced it, took it for a run but was still doing it. Back on diagnostics and code had gone. Got told to give it a good run but it's still doing it. It even cut out on me twice which it's never done before replacing the sensor. But it's not done it again since (cut out)
Only other codes that came up both times were glow plugs, something to do with door locking module and a bulb that's out (reg plate lamp)
When it first started we thought it was something to do with the throttle position sensor so was surprised when the fuel temp sensor code came up.
Also, it seems to run like a dream from a cold start, it's as the day goes on it seems to get worse.
Any ideas please?
