Thread: TD5 running rough

hows the clutch take up the dual mass flywheel may be cactus.

Thanks Dave....hope its not though.....

This would be the third time have had the auto out in 3 years.....

1st) seals
2nd) auto service and replace reverse gears and bearings etc

autos dont have the dual mass flywheel...

is the vibration RPM related at all or is it a harmonic type vibration thats there and is about the same regardless of engine speed?

Dave,

Yep,,was aware the auto don't have "flywheels" but have a plate instead...

Just looked at RAVE and understand why you refered to it as dual mass throwing a balance out but also not in an auto.

The vibration is directly related to RPM...... higher RPM ...faster shake.

Maybe the exhuast flex joint?
Thinking maybe the exhuast has moved and may be touching since the mounts were changed.

Kyle, been through what I beleive to be everything to see if someting has moved so that it touching a body panel or chassis somewhere to pass through the vibrations.

Had checked the exhaust and all clear....

Checked around the engine, auto and transfer boxes and can't find anything out of the ordinary....

Just gotta suss out what and how as this has only kicked in post engine mount replacement.

Next thought was the crankshaft pulley may have moved on the rubber.
Thanks to UP...www.discovery2.co.uk / Crankshaft pulley* / TV damper replacement

Here's a thought and I don't know if it makes any difference...

The engine mounts have a centre hole in the bottom and a 2nd one off set.

I have both these offset hole to the front.... pretty sure that how the originals were.... Any thoughts....

Also the vibration is definitely more noticable on the passangers side up through the feet.

Had SWMBO on throttle whilst I was under the vehicle with ametal bar.. had could feel the vibration through that side chassis but seemed more pronounced in the car....
