Hi,

I've got a 1995 A140 1.4 and recently the car has started juddering severely at low rpm. Even when i start the car something sounds seriously wrong like theirs not enough power going to the engine, the car is struggling up hill and even when i pull away from idle it's really slow but once i get going it's not too bad. Any ideas what this could be, if its not an expensive fix i would like to try and fix it myself to save some money lol. I do apologize if i've posted in the wrong section of the forum as this is my first post here.

thanks guys.
 
MAFs on the older W168 are known to be real problematic (water ingress into the unit next to the air filter ................$$$$$$$$$$)?

Coil pack?

Mechanical issues in engine - timing chain/tensioner known to be problematic on the older models.

.................... Unfortunately that’s the obvious but a STAR scan will tell you exactly what is wrong or where to begin looking
