I have been happy with the 1.4 TDI Ecomotive until the other day the engine felt somewhat funny. If you have a DPF fitted to your car when it needs cleaning out the car feels a little funny. Anyway, whilst driving the car when changing gears the car seems to bounce into gear rather than smoothly change into gear, when holding the car at 30mph the car starts to judder and shake and sometimes just randomly hit a flat spot when running which causes the car to bounce.

I am going to be calling dealer tomorrow to take a look at it and to look at some cracked paint which has started to appear on the back plastic part and the squeekey seat.

Any suggestions which this might be I could only think of one of the fuel injectors misfiring?

Are you sure your in the right gear for 30mph, mine only runs smooth at 30 in 3rd gear? A higher gear will cause similar problems to what your describing.
