problem with the focus tdci 04 plate - bad juddering!
basically if i put my foot down in 5th gear at around 40-50 the car judders really really bad like there is an earthquake in the car or the feeling of a bent driveshaft, also struggles at 35 mph as well but not as bad. anyone got any ideas at whats going on?
i know it isnt a bad driveshaft but feels like it. its a tdci sport on 26k, you can see it in my signature.
ive got an idea what it is but if ike your thoughts as well.

We've had a few smaller TDCi's 1.6's and 1.8's at work that have munched turbos due to split pipes. They start spluttering then after a few weeks it completely chews itself to bits.
I blew up a 1.6TDCi on the M1 and the big turbo pipe along the front of the engine (metal one) was split in half
My 2.0TDCi doesnt seem to suffer from the same problem, thank god

It's the shiny one (sorry, i'm an IT consultant)
fuck knows what it's meant to be called
A few have been replaced by Ford dealers as part of a service if they spot it, the others have just started spluttering then eventually blown up, requiring a new turbo
