Why is my Vauxhall Astra's engine shaking?

Recently, my Vauxhall Astra's engine has begun to shake while idling and sometimes while driving. I'm worried about potential damage and what could be causing it. Any advice?

Hi Hannah, it's important to address engine shaking sooner rather than later to avoid further damage. One potential cause could be worn spark plugs, which can cause misfiring and shaking. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for an inspection and possibly replacing the spark plugs.

Hello Hannah, it's possible that your engine shaking could be due to a dirty air filter. A clogged air filter can restrict airflow, causing the engine to work harder and shake. I suggest checking and replacing the air filter if necessary.

Hey Hannah, another possible cause of engine shaking could be a faulty motor mount. A worn or broken motor mount can cause excessive engine movement and shaking. I would advise having a mechanic check the motor mounts and replace them if needed.
