Vauxhall Astra 1.6 SE petrol juddering under acceleration - what can it be?
I have a Astra 1.6 SE 2010 Petrol, 33,000 miles. I am experiencing a weird problem when accelerating the car stutters and judders. Not excessively that you cant drive and will reach 70mph and sit there OK. its under acceleration in all gears this issue arises.
It has had a low battery failure recently and failed to start, however I believe this is due to the short journeys as since I have re-charged it the car has started every time. or could this also be related?
It was serviced 6 months ago and has had new spark plugs fitted, any ideas?

Given what you have described it may be best at this time to have a diagnostic check carried out.
Given there are so many things it could be ,ie one of the many sensors fitted a diagnostic should then show up a fault code ( ie P ---- 4 numbers) which can then be related to the problem.
If as you say the car starts every time then would not consider the battery to be the problem.
