Engine: D5: Minor hesitation at 1800rpm. Thoughts ?

Sort of lived with it a bit (couple of mths) as it was only a very minor thing (could not get it to do it all the time), now it does not do it all - the car has self healed! weird!

Intercooler was changed in about Oct.

Not driven the car since fuel filter replacement but have started it up a few times after a bit of persuasion of having no diesel etc

Changed mine yesterday and I've noticed the same thing but until I read your post I thought it was just me being daft.

It doesn't struggle to start it just turns over for a tad longer.

I've just re-fitted it cuz I think it was overtightened first time round so I'll see how things go.
