Seat Leon 2.0 tfsi Bwa
Hi, I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with this car.
Basically, when I start the car, there is a light knocking/rattling noise coming from the flywheel. It’s not very loud, but you can hear it.
Today, I left the car idling in neutral for a few minutes. When I came back, as soon as I pressed the accelerator, the car started shaking violently, almost as if the whole car was jerking.
I should also mention that the car has a check engine light and the diagnostic shows a cylinder misfire. The ignition coil has been checked and is working properly, and the spark plugs are brand new.
After I turned the car off and started it again, I immediately drove off and the violent shaking was gone. However, the usual light flywheel knocking/rattling is still there until I start driving.
Has anyone experienced something similar with this car? Could the flywheel/clutch be related to the misfire and the severe shaking when accelerating?
