Hiya - got a 2.5l diesel and have noticed that when accelerating often when I go over 2500rpm there is a jerky hesitation like the power is dropping off then coming on again - especially when going up hills
Any thoughts as to what may be going on - fuel starvation, turbo issue, something else ? so I can go to the mechanic with something specific to look for and keep the cost down
thanks

Check the filters: air, fuel & bango filter on the injector pump. Also try slackening the fuel filler cap in case you have a blocked breather.

i seem to be having the same problem tried loosening my fuel cap, problem still there

checked the fuel cap and made sure it was ok last fill, air filter seems ok - where are the fuel and banjo filters?

Another possible cause is the rubber U bend hose from the air duct onto the turbo, if it comes loose you may have those symptoms.
