View Full Version : Idle vibration & HP Fuel Pump failure

The HP Fuel Pump on our 08 RRS TDV6 had to be replaced after spewing smoke and diesel all over the road. A firetruck came out, inspected and dumped sand over the diesel puddles before being towed to dealer. Bit dramatic, but apparently they must attend in the event of large oil leaks.

After getting the car back, I have noticed a subtle yet noticeable increase in idle vibration when trasmission is left in D when stopped. The vibration can be felt through the seats, steering wheel and strongest from the center console between the front seats. Shifting into N seems to lessen the vibrations, and I have started doing this at most light stops. Has anyone come across such a problem? The dealer had taken a look and said they can't fault the car.

Btw - if there are any local Sydney TDV6 D3 or RRS owner who is available to help me take a look and compare it with their own car I'd really appreciate it :TakeABow::BigThumb:

Hi uber duster, did you find out what the cause was as I have the same problem with my d4 3.0. Have had maf sensor and engine mounts replaced but it hasn't helped.
