03 1.4 Judders when pulling away in first - noisy - Tricks
Hi All;

Was wondering if you could help, I bought my little peugeot a year ago, and have only three weeks ago but it through its MOT and 70,000 mile service, I had quite a bit of work carried out on the car including replacing the oxygen sensor, and for the first couple of weeks it run perfectly...

But then a couple of days ago I noticied it started to judder (almost like when you have pulled away in 2nd or 3rd) when pulling away and that the revs drop to practically nothing, the engine has also started to make a horrid noise, I have checked the cam belt and it dosen't look to have slipped and was replaced according to the history 18 months ago!

Being a typical women, I thought it may have been my driving, but then my hubby took it out and said there is definately something wrong with it!

Any suggestions peps, I am at the moment not driving it, and have left it on my driveway!

HELP :0)

If the revs drop as you pull away, then get a second opinion. Clutch slip/judder is one thing; but it doesn't drop the revs - quite the opposite.
