spadam 7 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi all car is finally booked in with jkm to have headgasket and radiator replaced. Anyway When i was driving along the other day i put it into 3rd gear about 50mph and car sounded awrfull was like it was stuttering through the exhaust. it only did this occasionly not constant. I went back to the company who fitted my vortex exhaust sytem and they said if you get any holes in the sytem it will stutter as the vortex back box is desinged to suck the gases out. they rewelded a hairline crack and said all waz good. I picked the car up agin 2nite and it is still doing it occasionly. i waswondering if there was anything else that could cause this like coil pack etc. have looked under the bonnet at night and cant see any arching but there is a split in the plastic casing on the coil pack. anyone had theser syptoms. jst wierd its only occasionly. car is an obd2 82,000 please has anyone got any ideas.

supadupagt4 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 i believe it's good practice to fill the crack with epoxy weld. try it and see.Also do the normal things like cleaning the maf and checking hoses for leaks.Also, i like to add REDEX every so often to keep the injectors and fuel system clean.hth.tony.
