    Bought an A4 on eBay and it judders. It obviously works. How do I make it glide?

    I've no idea what this is, but can you:

    Give it a kick?
    Hit it?
    Turn it off and back on again?

    If none of these work, I'm out....:):)

    You need a new pressure release valve.

    Is it diesel?
    Could be EGR, plugs, pressure relief valve, fuel pump or even turbo issues.
    You really need to get it scanned.

    Could be an engine misfire. Might be as simple as replacing a spark plug...

    Pour Coca-Cola down the back of it and claim it on the insurance.

    I'm more a foolscap rather than A4 person.
    You could try A5, it doesn't take up as much room.

    Make sure the wheels are all cleaned, a little pen oil on rotating part of motor would help too, then just keep running it and it might just start running better on it's own. I've 2 diesel O8 shunters and both judder like hell
    Good runnings

    I've just repaired an n gauge 08.
    A bit more fiddly than an 00.

    No doubt my fingers are far too fat for N gauge, the old 08's aren't too bad to work on but they don't half run like pigs
