juddering or missfire

[grumpyob]

hi all new to forum
have a 1994 audi 80 tdi 1z engine,
juddering at 1500 revs in 4+5th gears at light throttle.
can anyone help.
thanks ken.

Could be faulty throttle position switch, engine mountings, fuel filters, water in fuel, air in fuel. Might even be something else mate but any one of the above could be a possibility.

Cheers,

Marc.

I think i might need to try cleaning out some of my bits! Is electrical contact cleaner the best thing to use on the maf? I suppose good old wd40 would damage it? lol

[midskev]

nooooooooo nooooo noooooo not wd40 i used electrical contact cleaner that alone made a big difrence to the smoke, the inlet manifold was thick and well worth doing i droped the exhaust manifold with the turbo made it easer to get at took bout 3 hours altho am hour of that was shiftind the crud out of it go for it you will notice the diffrence
