stanny2k Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Good evening all, I've had a problem with my car the last few days & it seems to be getting progressivly worse. When I start the engine, put it into first gear & start driving, the car starts juddering as if I'm not putting enough pressue on the accelerator. I get to 15mph & proceed to change to 2nd gear, it judders more until I get to 30, change to 3rd, it judders again & contunues to do this up through the gears... It does the same in 4th & 5th, even at speeds of 60-70-80mph... This problem only happened in 2nd gear first of all but now seems to have found its way into all the gears.. Engine is in perfect condition (as far as I know), I've never had any real problems with the car before. She runs like a dream usually. The feeling is the exact same feeling as if the cars about the stall.. Like that chugging kinda feeling. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your time.

mintalkin Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 get the fault codes read to get a clue to the problem,it may be something common like plugs,leads or coilpack playing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Sounds like your timing may be out. Has the cam belt been changed in the car's life ? If not, it may have slipped a tooth due to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanny2k Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi again, I've had the car looked at by the garage... They said the coil pack is knackered, so they've changed it & shes running like a dream again. Hopefully this can help anyone else whos experiencing this problem.
