D4rkFly3r Neutral Newbie September 24, 2013 Share September 24, 2013 Hi guys, just wondering how did you solve your vibration on idle problem despite having changed the engine mountings.

Watwheels Supersonic September 24, 2013 Share September 24, 2013 Change car to a Lexus. If your budget allows get a RR Phantom. Jokes aside. Try topping up the oil/lubricant in the a/c compressor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieyorre Neutral Newbie September 24, 2013 Share September 24, 2013 Hi you might want to check the driveshaft condition. This phenomenon could be caused by wornt out joint at the transmission side. When D is engaged, there is torque applied to the driveshaft. This not so good condition driveshaft can transfer the engine vibration to cabin just my guess.

Ooosh 1st Gear September 24, 2013 Share September 24, 2013 Might be a case of worn bearings on one of the 'pulleys' on the aircon belt.... Best to take to a good workshop to check.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try topping up the oil/lubricant in the a/c compressor. Hi, is topping up compressor oil part of A/C servicing? I have not done A/C servicing for quite sometime. A/C still runs cold though.

The vibration lessen alot but the vibration is still there especially when AC is on. I noticed it only happen when i am on Drive mode. Help and advises would be greatly appreciated. Did the vibrations start all of a sudden.....or came about slowly......or was always there? If u change mountings n its still there, do a proper clean of throttle body. Is yr servicing due? Change plugs n air filter n oil n see how. If due to AC, cud b yr AC compressor old n worn so has a heavy load on the engine but the ECU sud adjust idle speed. U can also try re-set ECU by dis connect the + from the battery terminal overnight n see how. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine at 600rpm and idling very stable. Used to clean TB at 30k and MAF. Used the spray type but each time dun spray too much for the TB whereas the MAF is ok.

Go to workshop and check you vehicle exhaust pipe mountings. Exhuast pipe mounting if harden will also cause the vehicle to vibrates during idling..... If the mounting worn off, then you will hear the 'kok kok' sound when the pipe knock against the chasis or car body... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
