Door_1980 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi guys, every so often when I drive I get a very, very slight vibration which I feel from my feet coming from the bottom front of the car, doesnt always happen but is more frequent then it used to be Can anyone help as to what this could be and more importantly anything to be worried about?

Defcon5 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Exhaust heatsheild maybe? Gearbox disintegrating Does it relate to anything else? Speed/revs/cornering etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed/revs/cornering etcSpeed and revs mate, could it be the drive shaft? as my father has a focus and the drive shaft has worn and he gets a terrible vibration all the time...

Defcon5 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 With it being intermittent, I would say its something loose. Something like a driveshaft would cause vibration all the time I would imagine. Can you get under the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get under the car?Nope would have to get a garage to check it out...Been thinking of selling on for a while anyway tbh mate, so think this is the push that was needed. With the tapping/clicking from the engine aswell I think someone is trying to tell me something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 This is when your car turns into a money pit. Get out while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niche Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Get some stiff engine mounts, and get some women inside your car.Vibrating G40's kick arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 You probably have a worn engine mount - £10 fix that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unheard Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Check all the mounting points on the exhaust they have a habit of rusting then braking. The exhaust then sits free and will vibrate against the body at certain RPM.If it is that the fix is the cost of 2 Jubilee clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
