Noticed that my 2007 TiD auto will sometimes produced a slightly awkward auto gear-shift. It's apparently random, and odd in that 99.9% of changes are seamless. It's not dreadful by any means, but it is noticeable.
The car has now done 63,000 miles, and when I think back I guess it's done this ever since I had it. It is infrequent and random.
It has occurred to me to get the fluid changed, but as I've been thinking about it this week I've realised that the odd fluffed change seems to coincide with the DPF regen.
Is it possible that the clumsy gear-shifts are in some way a consequence of the DPF regen? Does the regen process temporarily alter the characteristics of the engine enough for it to make difference to the automatic gear-shift?
Cheers
Jack
