This happened the first two stops out of the garage, so I turned the car round but couldn't reproduce the problem, so took her home. Happened again today (5 days since service) but only twice.

Basically symptoms are this:

Driving along, brake to stop in traffic, depress clutch and put into neutral, come to a halt. As coming to a halt the engine gives a "shudder". The closest I can think of, is like a horse twitching a fly off its skin, or driving over those painted lines in the road really close together that are designed to slow you down coming into 30 zones etc.

Any ideas anybody?

 

mmmm sort of know what you mean and ive just had mine serviced too.. both 04 models

 

Is the clutch in. RPM's dropping too low?

 

on mine yes

 

Clutch fully depressed. It does feel like the engine nearly stalls then catches itself..... possibly... it's like a shiver

 

Got the same here. Never really thought much about it TBH.

 

Hmmm. Only since the service though - the first time was shockingly shuddery I just sat there with my mouth open. Not so bad now, and its intermittent.

I wonder if it's just 04's?

 

yep mines only since 1st service too, not that much of a problem but it is there

 

spot on

 

Interesting. The only reason I am concerned, is in case it is a symptom of something more serious, and damage is being done.

I'm also curious! How can an oil + oil filter change cause this
