306 judder

Discussion in 'Peugeot 306' started by David Beamish, Oct 16, 2003.

  1. Hey there.

    Got my N reg (95) 306 and in the mornings it is getting colder as we
    approach the British winter. I start the car and drive off up the hill and
    if I pop it into 2nd then it judders slightly. I am guessing this is
    because the engine is cold but I dont know why it happens.

    If there anything i can put in it that might help it out a bit - maybe a
    fuel tank cleaning solution/performance booster thing?

    Or even an oil cleaner? I use Magnatec at the moment (i doubt it does what
    it says on the box but it was fairly cheap in the halfords sale).

    thanks for all ideas!

    Oh and I guess I could turn it on and sit in it for 10 mins while it warms
    up but I aint doing that. I could invest in a remote starting kit but I am
    not sure i can be bothered with all that..

    warmed up though.

    could be a fuelling problem as well, my 206 does this but less so on optimax
    fuel

    I remember when I had a Nissan it had the same problem when it was cold, the
    carb use to have a electric element to prevent this the element had burnt
    out.
    I don't think the Peugeots have these, it was just a suggestion.
