2000X 172
I was doing my usual continetal fag run yesterday and was on the M20 heading Doverwards .. .. .. sitting cruising at 70mph in 5th and needed to accelerate to maintain speed up a gentle hill. The WHOLE car started to shake really badly. I turned off the stereo and listened to the engine. Nearly every time I accelerate there is a "ththththththrrrrppp" kind of noise and the throttle response is a bit slow. However, dropping into 4th and flooring it was fine.
My fuel economy has dropped from around 32.5mpg to around 27.5mpg.
It's a 2000 X 172 with 106k on the clock. All original apart from a Magnex cat back system.
I took it to a garage today and they road tested it, checked out the exhaust system and hooked it up to their computer to see if they could find a fault and they can't.
Any ideas as to what the problem could be??
