Hello everyone.

My girlfriend has tonight bought a 206cc 2.0 se on a 51 plate, I decided to check it out & from just moving forward or backward's it seem's to be banging/juddering quite badly when letting the clutch out, I am not mechanically minded so any help you can give I would be grateful, I was thinking maybe engine mount???

Thank's in advance:thumbs:

Any advice at all, been to two garage's & no-one can dignose the problem:(

If 2 garages have been unable to diagnose the fault, it is going to be difficult for anyone without seeing the car. An engine mount COULD be a cause of banging or vibration but so too could many other things. Contaminated/damaged clutch plate is another possibility.

Didn't she test drive it before buying? I'd take it back to the dealer and see what they have to say.

Thank's for the reply.

It was a private sell & to be honest it was a impulse buy for her, after I drove it I told her there was a problem, she thought she just needed to get used to driving it, never mind!!! Just posted to see if anyone had a similar problem, took it to the main dealer today & he did a road test & seemed very unsure of the problem even though it was clearly present so it is booked in for investigation, hopefully they might find the problem & not charge a huge amount, if not it's down to an independant next week although that is a fairly long drive away:rolleyes:

Let's hope the main dealer solves the problem without too much expense. I think you've done the right thing getting the "experts" to look at it.
Good luck.

hi, I also have the same problem and thought it was just me needing to get used to a new car. My car is also a 206cc, 2L, on a 51 plate, if you find out, I would be very, very grateful if you would let me know. Thanks

Hi, we also have this problem? On an 02 plate 2.0cc, this was a Garage buy so will be taking it back tomorrow, however this a small local garage so if the main dealers aren't too sure then i'm not holding out too much hope!

Any update from your investigation yet Gra2730?

hi, i took my car to the garage to find out what the judder was, and its the clutch, previous to me buying the car, it had been stood awhile so the clutch is now contaminated and needs replacing,

Hence my suggestion #3 above.
Glad you've had it diagnosed kawasaki964.
