Mercedes A Class 2015 (manual)

Apologies if this is on here already.
The GF has the above car (diesel). And recently it’s being ‘juddering’ in 1st gear and stalling. Start the car again and it drives fine. No errors showing on the dash. Just a flash up for a service.

The timing chain tensioner is a known weak point so it could be this if its a cold start issue.

Thank you. Seems to be when the engine is warm.

When was it last serviced?
