    Hello

    310K KMs.. (195K Miles for US friends). Car shudders very noticeably/audibly when below 20KM/h on low battery, on 2 bars.

    Once battery charge is above 2 bars, the shudders reduce in intensity significantly but it is still there as long as ICE is running. I can tell because as soon as I drop into using electric engine only, car is fairly quiet.

    EGR was cleaned out as per previous owner.

    The low battery shudder was always there since I bought it earlier this year. The shudder at all times is recent.

    What are some /likely possibilities here?

    Is the shudder worse when engine is cold?

    Are you having to add coolant regularly?

    Any check engine lights (error codes) or other symptoms?
