JUDDERING & LOSS OF POWER. HELP!!
« on: 07 February 2011, 20:26 »
My beloved Mk4 GTi has recently started to shake & judder. Its rapidly declined and have had to drive in lower gears to avoid the major shakes...feels very bad with virtually no power or response.  :cry:Am taking it to the garage (anyone know a good VW place in east London?) but curious if you knowledgeable people can guess what's wrong. Its done 130K miles, is a bit oil thirsty and unfortunately crawls though alot of London traffic. Any help or advice would be much appreciated! :sad:
