ENGINE VIBRATION
Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2018 6:18 pm
I brought up this problem some months ago. My AVF estate was vibrating under acceleration and on tickover. I bought new L&R engine mountings, and when the originals were removed there was nothing wrong with them, so they went back on.
It turned out that the diff bearings were allowing a lot of play and the box was overhauled. This seemed to make things better but not perfect. Then both driveshafts were renewed, gearbox mountings were checked, ok, the shaft on the gearbox had no play, dmf and clutch are very recent, no apparent wear on suspension arms, new bilsteins all round, no hub bearing play but still when accelerating there is quite a strong vibration transferred to the cabin, not the steering wheel or pedal though.
Somethings moving, any ideas where?
