Hi everyone.

I have a skoda octavia vrs cr 170

When I was on the drive home tonight.

I was in 3rd gear doing 30 mph then  started to accelerate up go 40mph before I got to 40mph it started to juddering abit and was hesitant. Any ideas?

Thanks 

How many miles, when was last service, has clutch ever been changed.

 

Could be a few things, spark plugs, coil pack, build up of carbon somewhere.

 

Can you scan ECU for fault codes?

84k

Last service 79k

Original clutch I believe.

Going to try get in a garage tomorrow to scan.

when it happened no light come up on dash.

Wheelspin? 

Failing dual mass flywheel?

Hmm.

How would I find out if it is?

For a comprehensive answer take a look at:

Basically, you look for judder when you put the transmission under medium load or listen for noises when idling. Can also be felt as a judder when accelerating.

Hasn't done the shuddering since.

Scanned for codes no code.

Used every day.

Service booked to change all filters.

 

 

just a glitch then hopefully............. Aliens in the machine as they say.

 

Mine has done it on a couple of occasions but only once in a blue moon.

Yeah could be one of them things. Maybe a bit of dodgy fuel. It's done it twice in like 5 months 

I can second,  mines done it too occasionally think maybe 4 times in as many years
