spudley1988 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hey folks sometimes when im slowing down and down the revs in my mb6 i occasionally get violent shuddering, as if air mixture or fuel mix could be wrong. Anyone experienced this? Maybe a sensor or old air filter something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 What sort of shudder? where does it appear to be coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 It's like the engine getting starved of something or too much of something so the car kind of shudders. Shudder is the best way I can think of to describe and as soon as I put clutch down it's smooth again. Only ever occured round town down about 1-5 - 2k revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Sounds odd. Could be engine movement? If say the rear mount was bad you could notice the excess engine movement at low speeds on and off the throttle. Or when slowing down just before you put clutch down.

spudley1988 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 It doesnt do it all the time. I'm sure ive had it on a old corsa but cant remember the cause. Obviously different car could be different reasos lol. Only way to describe other than shudder is its like engines trying to run down smoothly then it jerks as if it doesnt want to run down and continues doing this until i depress clutch or accelerate again. Dont know if maybe old air filter and not getting in enough air or maybe a sensor or possible mount as you also suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudley1988 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've only owned for 6 months tops but have done oil and filter twice and changed plugs once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ah. Can't be that then. Perhaps look at engine mounts as said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
