hello peeps, been ages since i had any problems with my car, however problems have arisen again!!
when im accelerating and reachin around 3000 rpm's, the car starts juddering. i have toslow acceleration or eeven drop down in gears..or up..depending.
have just replaced a pipe leading from the emmisions regulating valve, and i know that wasnt the problem. but the guy from the dub shop reckons its my crankcase that has gone. does this sound correct? he also says that it will cost £128.62ish for the part.also that i have to have my engine out to do the work....is it really that major?? or has anyone else had the same problem?.any advice is much appreciated :smiley: jo xx

Well, it's rare for a non- moving part like that to make the car judder at 3000 revs.... I think you might have either heard it wrong or they might be stiffing you. If I were you I'd take it somewhere else for an opinion, just to see if the stories match up.
Anything that's 'engine out' will cost you...
If it helps - prob not though! - it might be the crank case ventilation channels that are blocked, which could do all sorts of weird things to the engine. If that's the case, I don't know how to fix it, but taking the whole thing apart could be one way!
Let us know... :smiley:

your flywheel may need skimming if its warped then it will cause your car to jugger
