Hi i have a 208, 2015, 110 allure EAT auto. sometimes it jerks when hunting for gears, eg when i come down a hill under no load and then acccelerate firmly to climb the new hill it cant decide what gear, it goes from 5th to 3rd but not smooth. it is if it cuts off fuel for a brief second or 2 and the car jerks, splutters. this is when car is cold.

it doesnt do it when going hard from 1st to 6th gear under load.

It isnt just in changing gears, i drove in manual mode in the semi automatic box, was in 3rd gear at 20mph, put the foot down , car coughed for a split second.then drove fine.and pulled away up a hill.
strange thing is it always does it withing 300 yards of leaving work at night, in 5th gear auto mode, put foot down to climb hill, car coughs picks a lower gear then pulls away!
