Engine judder between 1500 - 2000 rpm

[nhudson1]

Car is a 2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7 diesel with -88k miles.

Between 1500-2000 rpm, the cars judders/kangaroo's if you are not accelerating but maintaining a constant speed/rpm. There is no issue before 1500 or after 2000 rpm or while accelerating normally or at motorway speeds. Car is likely needing a new clutch soon, but not I'm sure if that is a symptom of the judder issue?

Just curious of people thoughts or suggestions to check out, before I give up and take it to a dealer.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry, I don't know how to edit the post. The issue is noticeable in all gears.

Similar symptoms here, it was the EGR valve sticking for me - it failed properly and felt like the turbo would not turn on and was gutless.

I gave it an Italian tune-up, it got everything hot enough and blew all the rubbish out, and the car has not had any EGR problems in the following 4 years. (I think)

Hello,

I have the same issue on my Hyundai ix35 1.7 273 000km, Mechanic did not see any issues and the juddering did not happen while he was on a test drive, he said it could be the dpf thats almost full, but don't think they actually checked that. I saw EGR mentioned, did you have to replace it or just clean it? I have tried driving 45 - 60 min at 2500 rpm to burn out the soot, smells burnt but not really helped much.
