Hi everyone,

Bit of an odd one, my DS3 Blue HDI drives absolutely fine, but every month/1000 miles or so, it starts juddering. It does it at any speed in any gear and will carry on for around 10-15 mins or until I stop and start the engine. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

This is the Ford / Psa Dv6 engine used in loads of different vehicles. Are there any fault codes logged in the computer system? They can be very sensitive to fuel purity . Has it had a diesel filter replacement recently?

No codes stored on the engine, and had a fuel filter replacement around 2 months ago. I can put another filter in if you think that will help?

Will do, thank you for your help! Let me know if you have any other ideas, the 1000 mile interval is what's confusing me most! Thanks again!
