What Are the Causes of Idle Vibration?
1 Answers
Idle vibration can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Broken engine mounts: The engine and transmission mounts are designed to dampen vibrations. When they break, excessive vibration can be felt, especially during idle. You can perform a self-diagnosis by putting the car in neutral. 2. Damaged timing belt: The timing belt plays a crucial role in synchronizing the engine's components. Once damaged, the camshaft operates abnormally, causing the valves to collide with the pistons. A stretched, torn, or worn belt can lead to timing misalignment, resulting in shaking. This issue is commonly observed in high-mileage vehicles.
