Hi just wondering if anyone else has this problem. When i start my car up in the morning it tends to shake a bit as if the revs not enough. If I put my foot on there accelerate its ok then when I let go the whole car starts to shake again. If I start to drive down the road its ok after 2min and it doesn’t come back till say if I left it all day and then started it up again in the evening??
Any ideas
Thanks
Car shakes On Start Up :(

I wonder how often the oil and oil filter have been changed.
Peugeot say every 20,000 miles or 2 years whichever comes sooner but I reckon this probably allows sludge to build up and exacerbate the cam follower problem. Surely an oil and filter change every 10,000 miles or annually would be preferable.
As a matter of interest, what's the history on yours raks111 ?

My wife's 2.0 has had the lumpy tick-over from cold / cat fault / pollution fault for the last 2 years. Working in motorsport, I've looked into it a bit on and off. Last week it happened when we were both on holiday and I had a chance to look at it.
First job was to take the coil and spark plugs out. The tops of 2 plugs were wet with oil but the tips were the right colour. After cleaning the plugs and hosing the plug tubes down with WD40 I re-assembled and gave it a go. Ran the best it has in years!
I suspect the way the cylinder head and cam carriers are assembled can cause a small oil leak onto the plugs which from cold causes a missfire.
Any garage that changes the hydraulic tappets / coil / other expensive part, to fix this problem would normally take the plugs out and give them a wipe over which will mask the problem making you think you've paid for a genuine fix until it goes wrong again.
My advice is clean your plugs every 6 months and you'll be laughing as you spend your tappet money on a nice summer holiday!
