Vibration at idle
My car vibrates something nasty at idle. It's a 1.8T Tip car. I've replaced all my coil packs because I had one that was misfiring. I am wondering if I have fouled injectors. My mechanic has gone through this car completely... checked the motor mounts and all the belt driven accessories. All are in good working order. I'm stumped. Any ideas from someone who knows what they are talking about?

RE: Vibration at idle
Well my car is a little rough it seems at idle. But the car runs just find. Idle never dips, or accelorates. Never shuts off. No lights come on. It's just the way the engine runs. Honestly if some ones gone through to make sure nothings wrong. I wouldn't worry. Granted my car isn't chipped. 1.8t engine though. So I'd assume they'd run the same. But what do I know ha, I'm no mechanic

Did you ever to a TBA using a Vag-com?

I was thinking at first mounts, but the coil pack is another story.

RE: Vibration at idle
I've noticed my 1.8T (stock) vibrating a little more lately. I can feel it in my hands through the steering wheel. It's been super cold here in Milwaukee, so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it. I haven't adjusted my Throttle Body in awhile, so I'll give that a shot. Does the Vag Com method produce the same results as the following:

Manual throttle body adaptation:
"The Throttle is "Drive By Wire" and adapts to your particular driving style. Do a TBA Throttle body adaption).
1. Get in your car, it doesn't matter if you close the door or not.
2. Turn the key to the on position, the position just before the starter turns over.
3. Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the "on" position.
4. Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back to the "off" position(don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.
5. Wait 2 mins. for a full alignment. During this time you may hear very faint noises and clicks. I
only heard one sitting in my car, if I got out and popped the hood I might hear more.
6. Drive the car as you always do.
Depending on your driving style, this may or may not be a big factor. I do a lot of city driving so
I noticed a big change after erasing my history. It is not hard to do this, just follow the
instructions - Key on, pedal down, 5 sec, key off pedal up, wait 2 minutes.
Keep the key in for the entire thing. "
