Hi guys

Just hoping someone can give me a few pointers on where to look.
Basically our td4 BMW lump stutters/hesitates at slow speed, noticeable in 3rd gear cruising at 30mph.
I have added in some of that fuel cleaning additive in the hope something was blocked but to no avail.
My only slight concern is that I fitted a fuel injector pump a few months ago and just worried it's that, though there's no leaks like before.
Acceleration is fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Have you cleaned the EGR valve? when was the last time you cleaned or replaced the crankcase filter. Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply, I didn't get a notification anyone replied hence the late response.
I've changed the egr valve for the modification and the crankcase filter also for the BMW mod

I wonder just how many TD4s suffer this problem but the respective owner descriptions varying the true story somewhat.
Sounds like TD4 2K syndrome to me.
