Hi Lads,

I'm new to this forum. Wanted to ask, my car shakes everytime I turn the ignition off. It also makes a kind of whirling sound when I go up the gears. I thought it was the gearbox (dual-mass fly wheel) and so does one mechanic I went to see but I don't trust him too much. Also another guy who is a panel beater thinks it could be the shaft between the two front wheels attached to the gear box that's making it shake. The gear stick also moves when I take my foot off the gas and back on. I've had the mountain bushin replaced on it but I don't want to fork out the mother load for a duall mass fly wheel and find out it made no difference. Has anyone got any ideas?

I know its a long shot but hopefully its happened to someone. Besides that the car is in perfect nick and it never conks out, drives perfect.

Cheers,
Locky

 

we need some basic info about the car...year, engine, trans...etc

 

Its a 2002 a4 1.9 TDI. 130BHP. I brought it to a guy who's meant to be very good. He told me the oil put into the car during my last service was not light enough and that I needed W10 extra light oil for TDI engines. The noise was my turbo kicking in but it didn't sound good and I was worried. Also, the engine is shaking because it needs new engine mounts on both sides. not very important unless its annoying me. I'll probably get it done though.#
Thanks Loc
