Car: Citroen C4 2.0 HDI 2005
History: the engine worked unevenly (I do not know why, the owner claimed that shortly after the purchase and over time deteriorated). After replacing the injections, the work returned to normal, but there was jerking.
Description of the problem: The engine jerks at a gentler acceleration in the range of 1500-2000 rpm, but it happens lower and higher. When jerking, you can hear the engine interruption, as if the car was jerking while towing. If you press harder, break once or twice and pull.
Vacuum valves from the turbo and throttle changed with a car in which they worked well and no effects.
After disconnecting the EGR, the problem disappeared. So I bought a new Delphi EGR. I removed the errors and programmed it for the car. And then it tugs. There was an EGR error but also a turbo copy sensor, but after removal it did not repeat.
I suspected throttles so I connected with a wire both vacuum hoses going to them (turning off the throttles) and then pulled, so I can eliminate these valves.
So I replied the new EGR again and the engine works beautifully. No errors (except EGR, which will appear soon). Unearthly acceleration, no jerking, power at full speed. I have no ideas anymore.
DPF was replaced about 40 thousand km ago (according to Diagbox) and shows 25% of filling with almost no pressure difference (i.e. clean).
The timing has been changed recently and I am 100% sure it is well folded. I also exclude it because the engine stops pulling after unplugging the EGR.
Tomorrow I will check how they hold these vacuum valves that are installed, but I do not want to replace it in the dark.
I suspected the turbo copy sensor, but I think it would show an error.
I exclude turbo or injection because it works beautifully after removing EGR.
I would be grateful for any tips.
