My tuscan has just had its 12000 service.
It seems to have developed a new fault. 1st and 2nd gears seem fine.
Initial reves in 3rd seem ok, but when I push the fast pedal down hard, it judders as if losing compression and 4th is the same. It does pick up again, but it never used to be like that. :-(

Any suggestions please.............

The only thing i can suggest is take it back to your dealer!

Mine did that, my dealer said it could be plugs or leads and they usually change these.

However, mine needed an engine rebuild!!!!!!!!! Hope its not the same for you!!!

Could be many things.

Could be fuel pressure not being maintained high enough under load for example? Maybe?
