Hi Guys
Im back looking to get that little bit of info that will crack this annoying vibration problem with my engine.
So far I have have had the mechanic change the IP for a new second hand one at a cost of hundreds of Euro thinking this was the problem.
This week I had the mechanic spend a lot of time checking or discounting what he thought could be the problem based on his knowledge and the advice of the guys here.
Well he checked all the tappets for a sticking one,
he checked the injectors ,the ones he could get out and they were fine,
he took off the large pipe running over the engine to check for blow back or some thing like that,
he ran the engine on a can of diesel to discount a faulty fuel pipe, fuel filter housing issues.
But none of his work yielded any info to help.
He now does not know what to do and has suggested leaving it alone and living with the vibrations.
But thats hard to do when I know the answer is out there.
The issues again just to refresh your heads are.
The engine will start fine first time every time in cold or heat.
But when it does, the engine will vibrate violently revs drop on the counter and this will happen all the time.
It may settle after a while but When put in gear (its an auto) the load will not be compansated for and the revs will drop again and the engine will vibrate, like its looking for fuel.
It sound very splurty for what of a better work and the exhaust gases will mimmick the vibration.
Its a bitch to park or have in slow moving traffic vibration all the time.
There are no issues with it once I put my foot even slightly on the pedal or when driving at any speeds, which is when it needs more fuel.
With the old IP on it used to cut out dead after driving for a while at speed and then slowing down, but with the replacement IP this issue has gone.
Still at a loss, so please ask away if this was in any way unclear.
cheers
