Title: Juddering after being left
Post by: maxp on 26 October 2009, 23:19

Had a quick search, cant see a prob with the same symptoms:

Went on hols for a week, came back and the car *finally* started after having the key turned for about 25 seconds.

This was following by quite a lot of white smoke out the exhaust.

Went for a drive- in all gears,at lowish rpms, it would just judder and chug  instead of a smooth throttle response, although it seemed abit random. It would seriously struggle to accelerate at all when this was occuring.

When it warmed and hit a high rpm it seemed fine.

Any ideas what it is? It was absolutely fine when  i left it.

Timing gone out?

since it temperature related I'd start with the blue temp sensor
