My car runs very well however started to clunk heavy to the right hand side. This has never happened before. I have never had any bother with my before. took it to the garage who said CV joint (overshaft) needs done this cost me a fortune. However since i got the car back it has been chugging very very bad as if it is the wrong petrol that in it or the timing is out. The car seems as if it wants to stop at any time. Another garage told me today that it may be the coil as all technical tests were coming back fine. Though someone else said that these cars dont have a coil. This is worrying me as i travel a lot 2 work on my own and cant seem to get a mechanic who gives me the same story.Does anyone know if getting the cv joint done could make my car chug very bad as if it does i will take it back but need to know what i am asking of them.I dont want 2 be silly and take back incase is nothing to do with it though it is strange that it has only occurred since they tried 2 fix it

changing cv joints should not effect anything like that,did the transmission get refilled,are the shafts seated and not binding,did they damage the wheel brgs by overtightening,these are all places to start,unless its a deisel it will have a coil of some sort ,they may have pried on something they shouldn't have but who knows.
good luck

it sounds like you may have 2 different problems, the chugging problem may be the transmission (has the fluid been changed, or did they damage something when doing so?) but if you were having a clicking or popping noise when turning it could be a problem with cv joint, if it has been damaged it will need to be replaced, driving with a damaged cv joint can cause problems with the drive shaft as well and cause more problems. hope that helps

The CV joint and engine are not related. A bad CV joint will make a knocking from the affected side. It will not however interfere with the engine performance.

sounds like the torque converter is stuck in lockup mode, have a transmission technician look at the lockup solenoid, try unplugging it and see if it does not chug or die in gear anymore like that
it is a common problem
good luck

NEGATIVE THE CV JOINT WILL NOT AFFECT THE WAY THAT THE ENGINE RUNS.
UNLESS THEY MESSED WITH OR DISCONNECTED SOMETHING
