hello folks,

 

i've got a 2007 octaviv vrs in petrol, and i had a weird shudder from the engine last night. I needed to stop at a set of traffic lights on a step hill, pulled on the handbrake all was fine, then the engine started to shudder, like it was firing on 3 cylinders. Once i pulled away all was fine again. But then 10 mins later, normal driving, the engine shuddered a bit, then all was fine and has been since! any ideas?

Could be a coil pack on the way out causing a misfire?

Hope not! lol

seems strange it only happened whe i pulled the handbrake on! Granted, there was a bit of a shudder 10 mins later but all is ok now.....so far!
