#1: engine shake Author: 138Andy, Location: NottsPosted: Sun Apr 08, 2012 9:01 am ---- Every now and again when ever I start the car the engine sorta goes batshit crazy and trys to shake its way out of the car it calms down after it gets 2-3 minutes of high revs ?? When the engines shaking its really going for it and shaking the whole car ? Any ideas what this could be ?? It don't always happen that's why I'm having problems discribing it to the garage probably once or twice a month

What spark plugs have you got in it?
Normally down to using NGK spark plugs, bad coilpack or even the hydraulic tappets.

Have a read of what I posted, both 206 Gtis I have owned have done the same at some point in my ownership, and if you do a search you will see that it is a common problem on the 138 gti.
