Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCI - slight judder. - pork_pie

Hello folks.

Question about the above again. Sometimes when cruising at just above 2000 rpm (around 55mph), i notice a slight juddering on the motorway. Which then disappears . It sometimes gomes back again during the same conditions. The time elapsed during all this is typically 5-10 minutes. Is this the DPF regenerating? At the moment I don't do much mileage - am averaging 500 miles a month on the motorway only, driving once a week.

Does my car have a DMF? I was led to believe it does not.

It is a 61 plate if that helps.

My Ford Galaxy does the same, mostly in the same place, comes and goes, I've always blamed the road, it's probably not straight because of all the lorries going over it over the years. However my jugger is not exactly "slight", it's quite strong actually. I've never thought about it being from the car since it usually handles well.
