Odd vibration

Postby Bulldogboy » Mon Oct 29, 2018 8:53 am

Hi chaps, I've started noticing a vibration at idle, if you slightly increase the revs it goes, also if you depress the clutch ,it goes, could this be the duel mass flywheel? Or ( hopefully) that the idle speed is too low, it sits just above the last increment below the 1 on the revcounter at idle, any ideas appreciated.

Approximately 820rpm? Seems normal to me. Only when regenerating and at cold wheather the Idle is slightly higher than that.
A vibration at idle can also be caused by one or more faulty injectors.

Hi, thanks for the reply, yes idles about 8200 approx, noticed the vibration this morning, now after driving less so, funny you should mention the injectors, I had always been unimpressed with the performance of my 155 PS, and had tried injector cleaner Wynn's as I remember, with no effect, it was only when I used liqui moly diesel purge that I noticed an incredible difference in acceleration,and performance, and I reckon I had 1 or 2 blocked injectors, but since then it's ran well
