Hey,

I have a bit of an issue. Not sure exactly how to fix it...
At idle (light, stop, traffic etc) I get a lot of unpleasant vibrations when AC is on. As soon as I turn it off, the vibration stops. At higher speed, I don't really feel anything.

Any idea what the issue is? ~100k miles.

Thanks

 

Lower motor mount? Are you the original owners?

 

or you wouldn't have poly mounts do you? my steering wheel shakes like a rocket taking off at idle but after a about 10 seconds it smooths out and goes away. after each return to idle state. i really should take a video of it its quite amusing

 

That was my next question linked to the original owner question. Sounds like a poly mount insert.

 

I'm not the original owner. I'll check what the motor mounts are... Thanks guys.

 

Or a poly transmission insert. I had this non my R53 and the vibrations were horrible.

 

i dont know i have my whole front end converted to poly and i love it no vibrations at all and everything feels solid and tight i love it. but like i said the only time i get vibrations is when i turn the ac on at idle and it only last for like 10-15 sec then it evens out and goes away.

 

Auto vs manual will make a huge difference.

 

yea maybe, i have a manual though.

 

I have a manual too. I need to talk the the previous owner or are the mounts clearly visible?

Thanks again guys!

 

yes the dog bone mount is on the passenger side under neath the car, above the axle. the passenger side upper mounts, just pop the hood you will see it. and gear box mount is just bellow the air box, you can see it with out moving anything, (driver side)

 

All right, I will take some pictures and post them here later. Thanks!

 

well if they are any other color but black you have poly mounts. either red, purple, yellow. but post them up anyway

 

Yellow poly mounts. I'll take that it's not really an issue then?
