  I picked Gunther up from his first service today. While he was in, I had asked them to look at a slight stutter on accelerating, mainly through second gear. Apparently there is an ECU update for the tdi, to correct what they called 'rough running'. This has now been done to my car, and it's like
• Nissan Almera throttle damping 29 Mar 2006 (Forum)

• BMW 320i E36 questions? 27 Apr 2005 (Forum)
