Leon 1.6 ecomotive shuddering when stationary

Hi,

My 61 plate 1.6 ecomotive keeps shuddering when I am stationary, usually in traffic close to the start of my journey. It was shuddering really bad the other day so it put it in neutral and tried to give it loads of revs to see if that helped but it wouldn't go above 2500rpm. Once the shuddering stopped I could then rev it as normal.

Also I seem to get really bad MPG lately, I don't know if that could be related. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It's done 63,000. Do I need to take it to seat to get the diagnostics done? They dismissed the problem when I had my service last month but there's definitely a problem somewhere.

1.6 diesel? CAY* engine

Injectors are failing frequently (about £430 each) and the EGR valves fail for fun (£340 + 4 hrs labour).....both give idle issues hot/cold/anytime

Both will have fault codes too

Yeah it is diesel.

What's the best thing to do then to get a diagnostics done and find out the fault codes. Do I need to book it in at Seat and get them to run the tests?
