So my car listed above SW model developed a misfire due to a faulty spark plug two months ago. All the spark plugs were replaced but now sporadically when stationary at traffic lights, the engine will sit at idle and then for no reason rev up and dip down if revs and the whole car lightly shakes as it feels the engine is struggle to run properly. The car still pulls away fine. This issue doesn't happen each and every time. Some journeys it might not happen at all and then others, it happens enough that I am convinced that the car won't make it home. One other observation is that in second gear when I begin coasting there is a light kangaroo hop/jitter that I am feel as the engine doesn't want to smoothly work down the rev range. I have taken it to the garage who plugged in a diagnostics machine but nothing was flagged up.
It might be that this has nothing to do with the spark plugs getting changed but i didn't experience this issue before hand.
And help, suggestions or similar stories would be appreciated. The car is still under extended warranty so I'm fairly keen to know what it is so that I can try and get Peugeot to fix it.
