Problems with jerking when accelerating in a Kia Sportage

I have a 2013 Kia Sportage with a diesel engine and 258,000 km on the odometer. I'm experiencing problems with jerking during acceleration, especially when the car is not yet warm. Does anyone have experience with this problem or suggestions for a solution?

Check the fuel filter for any clogs or dirt, as a restricted fuel flow can cause jerking during acceleration. If the filter hasn't been replaced recently, consider doing so. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.

Can a Lindeman Total Care diesel do that too, and help? Kind regards
