Engine vibration
Hello everyone, I'm the new guy, just brought a 2008 H3 5 cylinder........
Question does this engine have a slight vibration at idle? Car has 26k on it..... Thanks |
slight?
yeah,all motors do,,slight?, kind of a judgement call. u can feel it,smooth vib,not shakin
|
Yes you will have a vibration. It's a in-line 5 cylinder, not as balanced as a 6, or 8 due to their V-shape
|
Thanks for the responses, that was my thought, that it is a 5 cylinder and at idle that is the nature of the beast.........
Car was apparently a lease vehicle, still smells new................... |
my used 07 smelled gud too,those used car dealers,really tricky,,got a spray can labeled "new smell". they spray everything. what to do,,,
i think carmax beats them all |
Mine does it a bit. It is better since I cleaned the throttle body and dropped in a K&N flat air filter element. I posted some pics of how dirty my TB was after only 25000 - 30000 miles. On a full tank of gas, I hardly notice the vibration...liquid dampener.

not as balanced as a 6, or 8 due to their V-shape a 90 degree v6 is impossible to balance. actually the i5 has 2 counter balance shafts to help. they all need help! |
I realize this is an old thread but it's what I'm experiencing.at idle the vibration is bad enough that the tranny dipstick is a blur shaking back and forth. No misfire felt at exhaust. I have noticed if I turn on the A/C compressor it changes the idle and it smoothes out.
engine has 241,000 miles but runs great. |
