djinuk 2 Posted March 3, 2008 my 205 is running spot on now, apart from, at rolling kind of speed, like clutch control, the car seems to jump around, just wondering what is causing this. Its very hard in slow moving traffic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted March 3, 2008 it's not the usual 'kangerooing' problem then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djinuk 2 Posted March 4, 2008 its not as severe as say a missfire, its more , hmm, its really hard to explain, just feel a bit lumpy possibly , maybe its just usual 205 gti traits, im not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the fonze 0 Posted March 4, 2008 mine does it to if its the same thing, just the usual kangorooing i think, its the engine moving back and forward i would imagine some stiffer mounts would sort it if its bothering you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLPoomobile 958 Posted March 4, 2008 My 1.6 did it very badly after I did a head swap. I'm sure the timing was right. It had a 1.9 cam but that shouldn't have caused it. I suppose a leak in the inlet somewhere (manifold gasket for instance) could have caused it due to letting in unmetered air. GTI-Si has the car now and he did have a problem with the dizzy cap and rotor failing soon after so that was the ost likely cause. No idea if it was better after he renewed them. With mine it was like the classic traffic kangarooing but 10 times worse. Cruising at 30 mph I had to stay a gear (or 2) lower than usual to keep the revs higher, as you couldn't cruise in 5th on a steady throttle at that speed, it would just judder. Every time the engine was loaded only lightly on a steady part throttle it would judder. Very annoying but I just learned to drive around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
