| Post subject: | Odd Vibration |
Getting a wierd vibration through my car at idle. Best way yo describe it is if you held a vibrating phone up to a hollow steel drum. It vibrates for a few seconds, then goes away, then comes back again and so fourth. Anyone had this issue before? I'm running a 1.6EFI vit engine... thinking it may be the fuel pump? I'm not sure though. Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers Guys. |

are you hearing the vibration or are you feeling the vibration? from what you are describing, it sounds like the exhaust rattling against the chassis or body. When you're describing this, what is the car doing? is it idling? My car used to do that when idling, and the rpm dropped down slightly, then stopped rattling when the ecu picked up the rpm again... and it kept repeating itself... fixed it by getting a steel hose clamp and clamping the exhaust to the chassis - i'll fix it properly when i get my new exhaust system. |

I dont think the exhaust is doing it but i will look into it. Its only when i'm idling, once i take off its gone... I can hear it and feel it when i'm sitting there.. havent listnened to it from outside the car yet... It seems to do it more after i fill the tank... |

If it what i think it is, both mine and my dads do it. its the high pressure fuel pump. I will have a listen for you on the weekend and let ya know |

Yeh, its comming from the back and i know the pump is mounted to the body (which is what the vibration is coming through) Is this bad or is it just the pump doing its job? |

if it is the fuel pump, when you turn the key to ignition just before you start the car. it will run and make a similar noise for about 3 seconds. yes? |
