whats wrong with my 1.2 16v?

[StealthClio]

have been having issues with it for a while, but dont know where to start.

issues:
-stinks of oil, which comes through the air vents
-serious juddering when cold/warm engine. feels like missfiring?
-drinks oil (possibly not related as its always done that)
-oil in the resonator box and on the air filter

i have replaces the HT leads recently, the spark plugs where done at service not long ago, and i have changed the coolant temp sensor.

anyone have similar problems or know what could cause it?

one suggetion i got was that the crank case breather hose would be blocked?

thanks!

Sounds like a multitude of things.

1) Unplug and clean all your sensors
2) Clean your throttle body
3) Sell it and buy a 1.4 16v because the 1.2 16v is such a **** engine

any other suggestions?

sell it and buy a 1.6 16v

oil filter ?
coil pack
is it drinking a fairly large amount of water aswell or not ?

had a service about 2/3 months ago. coil pack was changed about a year ago. air filter was a bit grubby, but nothing that was out of the ordinary. not sure about the oil filter, but surley that would be changed at the service?

new symptom: drove the car for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday, and after a short drive it smelt of oil, so i went home and popped the bonnet and there was smelly oily smoke coming from the back of the engine. what could be causing that? ty

Probably leaking oil from the headgasket/rocker cover onto the exhaust manifold. That would explain your smell and the oil consumption.
