it seems to be happening at random times i have got no idea what it can be the car engine just seems to shudder, it has only started recently and seems to be be quite frequent now, Im not much of a mechanic but from browsing on the web i have heard guys talking about spark plugs and coils. My car is touching 70k. Please guys would love some advice , you normally bail me out! dont want to be spending loads of money.

What model? Last service was when?


...if it creaks, it's probably made by VAG

Dr mat Service is due, Mikey I’m not sure what you are referring to guessing software. I don’t really mess around with the car. Just don’t want it breaking down on me ☹️£££!! Help only shakes when in idol mode engine running.

U need something to scan your car obdeleven is quite cheap and should tell you what's going on.if not u might be able to find someone with vcds who will read your car for you. Or u can go to like a vw specialist and find out that way but it shouldn't be vibrating

Shuddering sounds like a miss fire and your plugs were due for change at 60k anyway. I would get it serviced at a good local Independent garage unless you want to pay the dealer the comedy prices.

Then see how it goes, they should scan for you at the service anyway and will highlight any other issues.
