Now this has been posted before quite a few times, what the hell is going on with the judder when you pull away in low gears.

I just bought a fiat punto elx that is two years old, when I test drove it I noticed the problem but didn't think to much about it as I thought it was simply the spark plugs or ht leads, and as the car was cheap I thought it was still a good deal.

Well I changed all that and the judder still remains, then I changed the coil packs, and the judder still remains.

This is not a clutch problem as the judder is different to that of a clutch problem. You can also feel the car slightly missing when it is idyling.

Now some people have said this is a problem that Fiat admit is common, well how do you sort this common problem out? Have any of you had success?

I refuse to take it to my Fiat dealers as they are morons, and need some real help, so please help!

Hi welcome to the fiat forum.

I wanted to say lambda sensor, or binding brake shoe or pad, but the missing when idyling may be head gasket since you seem to have changed everything else.
What is worth a try is disconect the battery for about 15 minuets then reconect this resets the ECU,

Cheers Dave, I'll give it a try. If Nikeboy is out there, did you ever get your judder sorted.

did resetting the ECU help?

It could be clutch problems but it could be worn or damaged engine mounts.

I would agree with the last post, i owned a pug 309 GTI once and i replaced the clutch and engine mounts and it was fine!
