Flat spot on 330d

Hi everyone driving on the motorway the car seemed to have a flat spot in 6th gear doing 70mph. It was sort of like I let my foot of the accelerator for a split second. And also the sane thing happened at about 40mph. It never seems to happen when I'm accelerating but when I'm at a constant spend. It doesn't happen all the time either just the odd occasion.

If anyone has any suggestions as to what it could bic it would be a big help

Thanks Matt

From my experience (and its on multiple cars) its due to egr valve getting clogged. Especially when it happens after driving at constant speed.

Check terraclean website and see if you have a garage local to you. That will help you to get rid of any soot clogging your egr etc etc.
