Just paste a youtube link into the comment box and it should embed by itself. Is it losing power when it starts vibrating? To me it sounds like there could be an intermittent miss happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound coming from front of engine. Have either of u tried giving it a bit of a beating again since? Or have u noticed a loss of power? A video of the car idioling going from the back of the engine bay to the front would be handy atm. Front housing eould be good to hear close up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try and take another video tomorrow. Not game to drive it atm. thanks No the car doesnt lose power but when you give it a good boot it vibrates the whole car. We started it yesterday and it sounds like timing chain rattle. will try to take a video of it tomorrow. cheers for your help On 1/16/2018 at 5:52 PM, BAXRTUTE said: Can you remember when the vibration started? After giving it a boot? Does the vibration become worse with more speed? Higher revs? Is it worse in certain gears? It could be as simple as the exhaust being loose, or a timing chain tensioner. Hey, yes I can remember, we took off from home giving it a good boot... drove for 10 minutes.. stopped at a shop for 5 got back in started it.. the whole car vibrated bad. Went straight to our mechanic.. he said turn off the aircon.. it stopped the vibration, drove it home no aircon on.. drove it up town next day not flat out.. and the car vibrated just idoling at the lights no aircon on. Took it for drive yesterday and still doing it.. thanks it is hard to trust any mechanic around this town.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tune shop that has a good rep on these cars would be wise. Whats your location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
