Hello everyone I have a manual 2001 Audi a4 2.8l, When I am at a stop light and also when I have the car in neutral in a parking spot, the car starts to shake or tremble, it isnt a hard shaking, but it is still noticable, The shaking goes away once I start driving, I changed the spark plugs and coil packs and the problem still persists, I do know that I have a small oil leak and will fix that soon, but other than that the car is in perfect condition, no CEL or anything of that sort pops up on the screen any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

 

What are the rpms doing and have you tried to see if it has codes? A LOT of times these cars will throw codes without a CEL.

 

Could be the motor mounts. My car would have a little shake at idle, I replaced the motor mounts and the problem was solved. They were shot.

 

I havent checked to see if it has any codes, ill do it on Friday when I have some time, the rpm is about .3 at idle after warming up, and when it shakes, the needle will very slightly move but still be at about .3 rpm ill see about the motor mounts thanks

 

Is it a constant shaking or only happens one time like every couple of minutes or second's?

 

its happens every 2-3 seconds, i also took it for a drive in a quite street to see if I hear something and I think I might have the knocking problem Ive read about, it only happens when in starting to accelerate in 1st and 2nd gear, but it isn't a constant knocking sound, just a couple of knocks when I start to accelerate and then its gone if that makes sense, I changed my oil 1.5 month ago and I used 0w-40 European formula, but the shaking was there before I changed my oil thanks

 

Have your motor mounts checked out. I had to replace my to make the shaking stop.

 

Did you buy the coil pack's from the Audi dealer or from a 3rd party dealer like NAPA OR AUTOZONE OR ADVANCED AUTO PART'S....Because when i was reading around the other day i heard of a guy that purchased his somewhere else then the dealer and the problem continued and so then he went and purchased them from the Audi dealer and they magically worked and that's how he fixed it and BTW he had the same problem you do.

 

ill have the motor mounts checked out tomorrow when i get the car scanned, I bought the coil packs and spark plugs online, but i got them based upon what I have read from recommendations on audi forums thanks

 

I took the car to the mechanic, no codes shown, also motor mounts are good, the car is also not leaking oil as I thought, I checked the dipstick and there was less in oil in there then when I did the oil change a 1.5 month agothe mechanic said that my car might be burning oil and to just check and see if it sis still dropping , so they topped it off for me, and it did make a big difference, I can still notice a little of a shake but you have to be paying attention to it,
