I have an octavia also and that lives on Tesco fuel without any problems - it is a real workhorse of a car. Just curious that the change of fuel "appeared" to have such a dramatic difference |

Can I ask a favour of anyone that has this problem and is watching this thread? Would you mind putting a couple of tanks of Shell fuel through your freelander? Just by necessity, I filled up with Shell normal diesel rather than Tesco fuel which I would normally use and the problem seemed to dramatically reduce. I have just put a second tank worth in today and the issue is still there, but only very slight. I recognise this is a strange request and I assure you I have no connection with Shell, I am just trying out and idea which seems to have made a difference with mine. |

Was also diagnosed with EGR replacement last year (mentioned earlier in the thread somewhere).

I had this problem. Mine was fixed with a new EGR valve and software update |

The dealer is telling me that I have the latest version of the software and that whilst they suspect it is an EGR issue it is an ECU instruction to the EGR that is the problem i.e. software not hardware.

Pal of mine had suffered very long ongoing issue or jerkiness on light throttle at 40-50 mph and got really bad.

But it's for sure not the tyres directly causing misfires. Looks like the Haldex again - or its electronics/software? MY2013, 2.2 TD4 SE fuji white

Well the misfire felt just like with the petrol cars when they had an air leak or a split air intake pipe making it run too lean.
