I have a, just hit 100,000 miles 2002 2.2 sport auto and last week the engine management light came on and it felt like clutch slip in a manual.

This manifests as a judder and very lumpy running.  :-/

After reading these forums I attempted to clean out the EGR valve
however I couldnt get the bugger off due to lack of the correct TORX
bit to remove it.

Incidentaly, does anyone know the correct size of TORX
bit required to remove the EGR?

Having given up on my attempt to remove the EGR, I removed every pipe and hose in sight in order to clean them out.

About 75% of them were filled with gunk and muck to the point where
nothing could get through them.  Water, Air, Oil etc...

God only knows how the bugger has been able to run at all..

Anyhoo, I cleaned them all out but to no avail. The car still judders , but only after its heated up.

Does this look like a dying Gearbox or something else.

im not sure if the 2.2 autos are the same as the 2.5's but it is recommended that the gearbox oil be changed at 60,000 miles, this might be worth a try.

I would be inclunde to try and get someone to read the code so as to try and point you in the right direction as well.

hope that helps

I had the gearbox oil changed at every service, from 15,000 to 90,000, so I think it may be time to get rid but cant due to HP obligations..

Get fluid level checked, else it will be new friction plates needed very soon (if not already)
