Title: car jerking
Post by: vwchloe on 12 September 2008, 19:18

Hi, my car keeps juddering and jerking mostly in second gear and sometimes third. It's really hard to explain and only sometimes occurs.

Has any one got any suggestions what this might be? The cluch has been checked and the car is standard except a air induction kit.

Thanks  :smiley:

does it do this just after you change gear?... I had the same problem and got told to change relay 30, before i done that i put in some redex and it seams to have done the trick

redex is stuff you add to your petrol and it  cleans all the crap from your engine

yer it sometimes happens when i change then accelerate. I think we have some redex somewhere   :laugh:

Thanks for all your replys, the car is having a good service and going to check plugs, HT's etc and give it an oil change. Also i don't no if this is partly to do with it but the exhaust has a quite a big hole so putting on a new one today hopefully.
