so well im happy i just got all the problems with my car fixed. full timing belt job, exhaust, wheel bearing, oil pan gasket, strut fixed...
and well i got a real good deal on this 2 the only thing is ... at around 1500 RPMs i now get this vibration that i think is coming from the engine. well oviously sense its rpm related.. it only happens at right around 1500.. its not super bad but i can deff feel it. it didnt happen before i get all this stuff fixed. anybody have any clue on what that might be? thanks for any help.. take it easy

 

Someone didn't get all the bolts tight on the vibration dampner, don't drive it either, you don't want that pulley flying off.

 

so.. how hard is it to get at this dampner? and are you pretty sure thats what it is? ill ask the guy that worked on it to see whats up. im going to be pretty pissed off if he just didnt tighten something enough or whatever.

 

The vibration dampner is whats bolted to the crankshaft to keep it in balance, if its not bolted on correctly it will act the same as a wheel out of balance. The wheel will vibrate the car at 40-50 mph or whatever, and your problem is the car vibrates when the engine reaches 1500 rpm.
There is a total of 8 5mm allan bolts on the vibration dampner so its easy to miss a few. You might be able to get at it from the bottom of the car, but usually you have to take off the bumper and put the lock carrier in service position.

 

alright thanks A LOT for your fast replay and information.. im gonna get this checked out. and see what the deal is when he looks at this dampner.

 

Sorry for a small offtop:
But... My car shakes and makes brrr noise when it is in between 2300-3200 rpms. in any gear, except of 1st., What can that be? Thanks.

 

hey protein.. how long has your car been doing this?? did you have work on it and then it started doing that or did it just happen out of the blue..?

 

THREAD JACK!!!

 

ironman, it is kinda related questions ))

dombombBMX, i've got a stage III clutch + resurfaced stock flywheel, and probably after 1000 miles it has started. And i guess it has been already for about 3000 miles. I think one of my engine mounts has to be replaced, i'm going 034.

 

so you just been driving it with this vibration?? i mean i dont have much of a choice to drive it for a bit intill i get it fixed. it only vibrates a little bit and only at 1500rpm and im rarely at that rpm only when starting and it just zips by and the rest is smooth sailin..

do you guys think my mechanic should fix this for free sense its his mistake.? well hes going to kinda have to cause im pretty much broke at the moment
i just payed 1271$ for all this work. thanks peepz
