I have an issue with my astra. Its a 2005 model 1.3CDTI estate. I just bought it and there is a couple of issues the seller forgot to mention. Such as on idle the engine has a distinct knocking noise which becomes quieter at about 2000 RPM. When driving sometimes the engine seems to hold back and it makes the car shake.
The second fault is that from about 75MPH onowards the car shakes badly and becomes worse as speed increases. I have had the two front tyres changed and had all 4 balanced and this does not seem to have rectified the fault. Please help as i feel mugged off enough by the Ebay seller that sold me this car as my wife can now not use it till i fix it.

their are so many posibiltys with the holding back.
If your not really going to use it till its fixed I book the car for mot. this will check a lot of things that could cause the vibration and by getting the imissions readying may help locate the reason for holding back.
Does it hold back on reving when stationary?
