Hi,
I would inspect throttle first, to make sure it is not dirty or stuck. Easy and costs nothing. Well, maybe £5 can of carb cleaner. As for shaking - it again may be related to throttle, rough or erratic idle can cause that, multiplied quite possibly by effect of worn out engine mount. I had it in my car, now it is all nice and smooth. That said, nothing beats checking the car with Vida first... Hope this helps. |

Here's the guide written by forum member:

Tried this and still the same,a mate who knows a bit more than me about cars seems to think it is the clutch as the bite is high and gear changes ain't smooth,do the 2.0 petrol have dmf?

I would suggest getting it on VIDA, but at the same time if there was an internal problem in the engine you'd expect the engine light to come on..

I have fixed the power issue turns out whoever fitted the air filter didn't fit it correctly and it was taking in too much air,but still have a bit of a shaky idle even after cleaning throttle body and fixing air filter.
