Mrs NiD came home this evening and commented that her Renault Clio was juddering on the drive home (16 miles through the countryside). I needled a bit more info out of her: does it in all gears & while idling, hasn’t stalled, has only started doing it today, there are no warning lights on the dash, nor does it indicate it is overheating & it has a full tank of fuel.
It’s a 1.4l 54 plate petrol Clio. Beyond that I am unsure of models (its just not a Defender).
My initial thoughts are that if its ‘juddering’ it is not getting enough air or fuel. From some basic research it seems there is only a mesh fuel filter in the fuel tank so doubtful its that. Can anyone shed any light on this? Where should I start before accepting my lack of man skillz and telling her to take it to a garage?
