Pete Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think diesels do tend to vibrate a bit, how old is it or how many miles does it have on it? Could be a weak engine mount or flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Could possibly be that then mate, could do with an sdi driver to confirm really though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jase Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Does the vibes go away when you press the clutch?Could be your dual mass flywheel if so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well I'd say they'd renew your clutch and flywheel, not expensive bits really, think the flywheel is about 80 quid, depends how much a garage would bill for the job but its only a morning job.

shrunkengomez Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Does the vibes go away when you press the clutch?Could be your dual mass flywheel if so!no its the same in or out, it might be just me, i have had the car for 12 months no problem and it always been vibrating but im getting a bit concerned about it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jase Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Dogbone engine mount bushPossibly worn or loose boltWiggle the engine and look for play / knocking noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Are they dual mass on diesels then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jase Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yup i know the 1.9 tdi's use themGuessing the sdi's use them and the 1.4tdiEven some petrols use them the vag 1.8t uses a dmf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ok, it's just I know the GTIs don't, not so much torque running through them I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try and find another Lupo SDi to compare it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougless Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Hi, is it normal for the lupo 1.7 sdi to vibrate a lot on tickover, as soon as i rev it, it is smooth.thanksSome good advice so far. I ran an SDI for about 25,000 miles and it did tend to vibrate at tick over. This was more noticeable when cold and in cold weather, tended to be smoother on tick over in warmer weather. It normally smoothed out a lot once under way. Its ‘sweet spot’ under load was just under 3000 rpm. Edited June 1, 2011 by dougless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatbwoy Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Have got EXACTLY the same problem with my SDI... First suspected engine mounts, then thought exhaust was hitting a heat shield or body somewhere. Lot of pissing about under the car today adjusting exhaust positions and it's still the same! Haven't replaced any engine mounts, but have checked them and they all seem good. Do hope this isn't a flywheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 its just the way it is, mine vibrates allot, i even checked mine with a higher mileage arosa and it was pretty much the same. if i rest on the pedal and reach about 1k rpm it smooths out alot.

Phatbwoy Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Surely they didn't leave the factory like that?! Got to be an age related problem. It's so bad in mine I feel like my brains are being scrambled when I sit at idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 it doesn't bother me much, although it sounds as if yours might be a little rougher than mine? my lupo is my first car so the noise of a diesel is no issue for me, infact there's been a few times driving a petrol car that i had to check it was still running. my dad and my mum both have diesel cars (turbo D) and there not as rough or loud as mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatbwoy Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I struggle to believe that it's purely down to it being a deisel engine. My Escort van has a 1.8 NA deisel engine and it is rough and rattly at best, but it doesn't vibrate like the SDI on tickover. The whole cabin shakes and the tone of the vibration changes when doors and boot lid are opened. There must be something wrong.More investigating taking place today.

max West-York Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) mine does it and its a 2002 1.4 petrol haah, had recent clutch done though so I'm guessing its mounts because I can guarantee mine haven't been changed, vibration is really slight though, you're probably noticing it more than usual because you're constantly thinking about it same symptoms, rev to 1k (mine idles between 800-900rpm) and it feels like the engine isn't even running Edited October 9, 2011 by max West-York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
