Hi All,

I know its quite a common issue with the 1.5 Diesel J10 model but has anybody come up with a solution to the hesitation from the engine at about 2500/2600 revs when driving on the motorway as it seems to coincide with "normal" motorway speeds? Once past this rev range things are fine again.

I have owned my 1.5 diesel (Pre DPF) for 4.5 yrs and this is the only issue I have with car as it's mainly used for town work its not been a real problem

I did try using the super diesel and this seemed to improve things, also a bottle of octane booster added to normal diesel also improved it?.

Many thanks
Neil
