RPM fluctuates on higher load

RPM fluctuates on higher load
Hello,
My JAG (XF 2.7D), when on higher gears (4th sometimes 5/6 usually) and accelerating lightly, has RPM fluctuations.
It gets down slightly then gets back to the previous position. It happens until I shift the gear to the lower one, or accelerate harder. It seems like the engine is suffocating a little bit at that moment. There is also a sound (seems to come from underneath) for that moment when the RPM is at a drop point.
I have changed MAF (there are 2), the computer diagnostic readings are alright for the airflow.
Sorry if I have missed the same topic somewhere in the forum, but I was unable to find one so I created a new thread.

My XF has over 190,000 miles on the clock and I have had if for 18 months. I was a bit concerned when I first noticed, but it hasn't caused any problems or got any worse. I recently drove from the UK to Croatia for a holiday, a round trip of 3,000 miles without incident. I'd like to know what is happening, just for peace of mind, so please add an update if you find anything.

I also have a 2008 XF 2.7D with the same characteristics, although mainly in 5th gear. RPM fluctuations and strange sound exactly as you describe.

I still hope someone from this forum will explain more about this issue.

I had a similar thing ( and a few others) with a petrol version after a tune. slight surge when at constant speed when more torque was requested (incline in the road, bridge etc) . Lie 100 rpm. Very annoying. especially with cruise control set. Was not so pronuonced at very high speeds (over 75 MPH It was fixed with a new tune.
Have there been any software updates for the 2.7D perhaps?
