1997 Volkswagen Passat juddering on motorway on acceleration and de-acceleration
Year: 1997
Variant: 1.8 se 20v turbo
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I have a question that I need help to.
My Passat (1997 model, SE 20v turbo) has a problem which sounds very similar to the question posted by another person on here. but I think mine could be a little different?
Everytime I accelerate when I'm on the motorway, the car gets upto 70 or 80 mph and starts to judder. Why is this do you think?
I have had everything checked and some mechanics cant figure out what it is either?
I've had a new drive shaft put in the passanger side (needed doing anyway) which i thought could be the route of the problem, checked the springs, done the tracking, etc...... the list goes on!
I need a solution, one that is not going to cost an arm and a leg!
The car is brilliant, I dont want to give up on her yet!! drives excellent around the small roads! great power too! Everything else works great!
It is driving me up the wall, can anyone help????
