Juddering When Driving..

[stanny2k]

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.

Drove the car to work this morning & the engine management light has come on.

Seems to be getting worse...

HELP! Please...

Anyone?

get the fault codes read to get a clue to the problem,it may be something common like plugs,leads or coilpack playing up.

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.

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.
