A guy I know had the same issue but it was worse it was jumping around quite a bit and his ZF heat exchanger had failed.I hope its not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the torque converter locking up if the former...but if it's the later I'd get it looked at ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mrs B4 Scuby also does exactly the same thing. If you put a boost gauge on it you will find the boost will rise and fall with the tacho. I have put it down to the wastegate solenoid running on low duty cycle on light loads, its kinda annoying but doesnt bother me much. I wouldnt worry too much. I will ask my mate 2moz for ya, he has been a service adviser at Ford for over 20 years.Kind regards Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
