The car 'jolts' and continues to do so until a large change in throttle is applied. Only way to avoid it is to race around in a lower gear or chug along in too high a gear - none of which are great for town driving!!
It's been back to the dealer 3 times with various exhaust gaskets and other widgets replaced but all with no success.
If anyone has suffered this problem I'd be extremely appreciative of any pointers. Many thanks

Looks like one of my posts!

Yep exactly the same problem with identical symptoms. Does it constantly to me. Can be embarrasing when giving someone a lift...they must think I can't drive!

I believe it to be the DPF now that they have 'turned off' the sensor that alerts when its blocked.
