Ford Focus TDCI 2009. 1800 - Diesel 'flatspot?' - Corner

At 1800 -2000 rpm the engine stutters as though it has a flatspot. Can drive through the stuuter ok. Garage computer shows no codes and they do not know the cause. Bit like a petrol engine flatspot you used to get on old cars. Starts ok and no oither problems. Engine done 38k miles.

Try cleaning the EGR valve & make sure it closes properly. This is a no cost option if you can DIY.
