Newbie with an Engine prob
Well first off a hello from me, i have just got my self a little 1.6 Dynamic as a run a round
secondly, its a bit of a strange prob, the car starts drives and does as it should, but when at a stands still (at lights or in traffic) with he clutch depressed, the car rocks slightly, almost as if the clutch is at biting point and then depressed.. so does an one have any idea's as to what it might be??
apart form that the car is great, no air bag lights, no engine management light and all the electrics work... luckily.. lol
Thanks
Neil

Re: Newbie with an Engine prob
Hi,
i was out today and did notice the revs dropping slightly, however i doesnt mirror the rocking/surging of the car, when you mentioned the rev's before what sort of fix were you thinking of?
thanks
Neil

Far from it its a very valid point..and if the revs are surging and dropping I wouldnt mind betting its the dreaded throttle body clean which is a tendency of the 1.6 engine..[see guide]..

Re: Newbie with an Engine prob
it does sound like the throttle body is the culprit
give it a good clean
i find my 1.2 "hunting" at idle somedays i think my throttle body may need a clean
