DaniSales1989 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi, I have got a 2005 MK2 Focus and I have noticed that when accelerating it seems to shudder almost like the engine is in too high a gear. I accelerate a little harder and then settle back at the previous speed and it seems to die down a bit - I'm not sure what could be causing the issue? No engine lights come on, no shudder in the idle and the car seems healthy otherwise... many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Could be coil pack/leads, depends on the 'shudder' could also be unbalanced wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss max Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Check engine mounts also just to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizza11 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I have a Mk2 07 Focus had more or less the same problem turned out to be the drivers side Driveshaft middle joint. Not cheep to fix. Get underneath and give the shafts a good hard wiggle to see if there is any play.I f there is you will see straight away. If not you could be looking at wheel balance or slightly buckeled wheel or even tyer problems. Just a guess but worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
