Citroen Xsara 1.4 2000MY mark 1, 115k miles on the clock Im having a strange problem where by when at idle every 10 seconds or so i can feel a small vibration coming through the steering wheel and the car- although no passengers have mentioned anything, also the exhaust sounds like it is missing every few seconds, also the engine is moving ever so slightly, so im guessing the movement in the engine is causing the problem. The car drives perfect and mpg is as expected, although from a standing start it does feel as if its missing slightly. It also passed the mot recently (no probs with emissions) where there was an advisory about small leak in the front exhaust but i cant see/hear anything abnormal. I should say the vibration is more noticeable after revving the engine.
i took the current bosch spark plugs out and fitted the old NGK ones to see if this made any difference- i cant say it has. Also gave the coil extensions a quick clean but still no difference. The unit currently is bougicord, i am thinking of changing the coil unit for a new bougicord unit, woud this be worth it? So would anyone have any other ideas? thanks
