Hello everyone

I got my i30 back in August '24 and when waiting at lights the rev needle used to bounce about. 

Unfortunately the problem has gotten worse and the whole car vibrates.  Also, when at the biting point whilst manoeuvring it gets very loud and unsettling!

I have seen a lot of content on TikTok regarding the cleaning of engine sensors that apparently help with these symptoms which I would very much like to be able to do without the need of taking it to a mechanic as it looks easy but I don't know enough about engines to start pulling plugs etc.

Whenever I try to find How-To vids on YouTube the results that come back are for different makes and models which doesn't help.

I am hoping that someone with expert knowledge can help me or direct me to a tutorial on how to identify and fix things like EGR sensor, MAP sensor, O2 sensor and anything else that is worth looking into.

Kindest Regards.
