Zoe Maree Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Oh wow! I hope I don't need a new engine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It shouldn't be juddering, most likely cause is the revs are dipping too low? Vicki was it a 3 cylinder 1.2 engine by any chance? They love to eat valves and will cause juddering and poor idling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoe Maree Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Mines a 1.6 8v what ever that means lol, my revs don't drop so I'm clueless to what it could be I thought if my revs dropped then it's the plugs needing changing??, just bought the car in march and got it on the road this month just one thing after another will be quite upset if it's got bigger problems than I was told as I knew the family I bought it off quite well :/ xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 means that you have a 4 cylinder engine, but it should seek medical attention :p If its only as the revs are dropping it could be an engine or gearbox mount is all thats at fault, and you could just get it replaced?

Zoe Maree Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 The revs don't move though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Most likely a knackered Engine mount tbh if it's out of gear, open the bonnet, grab the engine and try and rock it. if it moves one of them, most likely the dog / lower box mount if causing juddering is knackered, cheap and easy to change, the other mounts are slightly dearer and need a hoist / decent jack to change and support the engine.

Zoe Maree Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 It putts out the exhaust as well what ever that means :( anyone know? Is it serious? X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoe Maree Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Seems one of my plugs were loose pushed it back on but doesn't look as fitted as the other 3 I think the juddering has stopped now how do I prevent this from happening again?

jeebowhite Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Check my reply to your thread Goomba I don't think it's the turbo itself but the hose or pipe that's the issue Sent from my MY SAGA C2 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
