Car Juddering along, not reacting like it should

[Phill90]

Went out in my car earlier, and it didnt seem to be reacting like it should, stopped car left it 5 mins then came back to it.

Still it was doing the same thing juddering. I came to a junctiong and it just wouldnt pull away, eventually it did very very slowly, then behind me was a cloud of smoke from the exhaust i assume.

Then my temperature warning light came on and the temperature of the car shot right up till i stopped



Is this the end of my clio?
Anyone got an idea of what this could be?

You have blown the headgasket by the sounds of it. You are burning coolant and it's coming out the back as steam.
Then your car has overheated because you've lost coolant and now theres a chance your engine block/head could be a little warped.

bad times.

On the brighter side, you have 172 posts! lol

I'd be checking coolant, and tbh i wouldn't have let it get to the stage of overheating!

But yeah i knew my headgasket was going, had a mechanic tell me it was ok so long as i didnt "rag" it
Looks like it be going as scrap then cant afford to sort that out

who the FCUK told you it'd be ok if you didnt rag it?

If it's blown, it's blown. It WILL get worse and it WILL the loose compression and or water

Hope it works out for you
