i was doing 30mph up hill in 4th, so i moved it to 3rd and it still did it.

Seriously I have the same car as you, you needed second gear. You probably always put too much strain on your engine by doing it in 4th and you've f****d it.

people need to learn how to use gear.
run around with unnessarily low gear will do no good to mpg as well as the engine.

well ive never needed 2nd for this particular hill. i drive it 5 days a week. and the judderin starts halfway up the hill! so i doubt its a case of bad driving. if it was the wrong gear the revs would be struggling no...and i dont have to move my foot at all on the accelerator.

If it's something that's just happened, I'd be inclined to get it read by diagnostic equipment - whether a light appears on the dash, or not.

As above if your in doubt get a diagnostic done but honestly before doing that go back to said hill and try it in 2nd and see how you get on!

. Up a hill? If climbing a steep hill it's 2nd for me ( sometimes even 1st if extremely steep)
