johnH Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 when was the last time the fuel filter was replaced? could also be the EGR needing a good clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart7977 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 if i'm honest i dont know when it was last serviced.we bought the car from a friend of a friend.i have booked it into the garage tomorrow now.do you think it could be something as simple as needing a service?i also want him to to the timing belt aswell.are they belts on these?what should i expect to pay for a full service and timing belt? sorry for all the questions mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart7977 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 quick update on this.it turns out the clutch is causing the juddering.the mechanic recons something has broken off and the clutch now needs replacing.he also found the pas pump is knackered as is the water pump.i decided to get these done and also the timing belt and a full service. 600 quid on parts and 350 on labour.gutted :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
