Could be, gonna have to put a code reader on to confirm. The car went into 'limp home mode' as well by the sounds of it, so don't drive it till its sorted.

#6: Re: Engine diagnostics light on car juddering! Ui Author: ruby_the_206, Location: LincolnshirePosted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 3:17 am ---- ok i think it is the coil pack i remember sumthing like this happening before on my renault.
Just started it this morning and no light drove for abit seemed fine however it did stall when it shouldnt while reversing.
Do you think it woud be safe to drive home?
I do have breakdown so if i did get stuck i could get towed!
Or do i need get it sorted asap
Another thing it had a full service before i got it so surely the spark plugs shouldve been changed?
#7: Re: Engine diagnostics light on car juddering! Ui Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 3:50 am ---- Depends on what lpugs they are, if a standard service should've been changed but if iridium then possibly not.

Does it feel as though your car is running on 3 cylinders/ lack of acceleration power? Then it's probs the coilpack or injector(s)...get it scanned and the code fault will come up straight away.
#9: Re: Engine diagnostics light on car juddering! Ui Author: TheSandmxn, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:11 am ---- P.S only drive the car if you really NEED to, like to a garage etc...don't try make the problem worse than what it is

Mine did this. Pull out each injector individually. It will run worse than what it is now when you start with each individual one disconnected. When you disconnect one and it runs the same, thats the failing injector.
A new injector cost me £65, just to give you an idea!

That is a good price, I had to pay £100 here in Birmingham...that's including garages time to fit it as well

The exhaust sounded like it was pulsing its hard 2 explain! Rang garage going 2 take it in 2morrow but 4 now I have 2 get home lol could b fun!
However I did go out earlier and was fine!
#13: Re: Engine diagnostics light on car juddering! Ui Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 11:48 am ---- Whats the betting some idiots fitted NGK spark plugs in it
Garages love fitting NGK to everything as the lads want the box ends to save up for the goodies out the catalogue
#14: Re: Engine diagnostics light on car juddering! Ui Author: devotedsniper, Location: Tamworth, StaffordshirePosted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 3:29 pm ---- Mine did this right after my head gasket was done, turned out to be the coilpack, is your engine shaking as though its struggling to idle?
