Thanks Dan,
I have owned two mondeo's in the past and had none of these issues?
A friend of mine has a 140 Zetec, and has none of these issues although I've not driven it myself..
Even if I try with higher revs, I've ascertained that the 'jerk' is still there, just not as noticeable.
As for the Ford main dealers it went into last week, I really don't know if they road tested it, but there weren't many miles on the trip!
I was told they checked it on the meter, but as there were no error codes, didn't believe there were any problems! It did take a full week though!!
I am seriously considering getting it on a dyno as my last car, a Mazda 6 130 ts2 seemed a lot more powerful than this 163?? As a 'sports' edition I would have expected a nippier drive!
Thanks once again for the advice Dan.
BTW, what sort of fuel economy are you seeing? If I take it really easy, I used to get 40+ mpg, but since the ECU had the latest firmware / mapping software applied, it's now closer to 35!
