Re: 1.9 TDI AWX Engine vibration

I'm assuming the mechanic checked the aux belt tensioner and also the alt pulley clutch these can cause vibration and noise

Re: 1.9 TDI AWX Engine vibration

Does it run well? I've heard of people experiencing issues with the injector wiring harness that breaks down as it runs through the rocker box can cause many of problems, mine is still OK at 207k but I know its definitely an issue that will arise.

Think it's 8mm that's needed. Some people just let the lock carrier hang, or support it from underneath etc. Just ensure air con pipework isn't stretched.
