Hoping this is a good place to reach really technical folk, because the workshop isn't helping. 

 

My Superb mk3 TDI 190 L+K manual, 2 years old 20k miles was stopped at lights. On depressing the clutch, engine tried to restart and stalled. It then automatically restarted again (clutch still depressed) and a big vibration was immediately apparent. 

 

Car was drivable and the vibration gradually reduced but never went away. Called skoda assist, they found no engine management fault logged but vibration still apparent. 

 

Workshop now tells me this is normal. No injector faults apparently. Yet it runs like a tractor, vibration most apparent through sterling wheel at idle and in low revs acceleration, less obvious when cold.

 

For comparison, dealer was kind enough to let me film next to an identical spec engine at idle. Both were warm. Should be very apparent which is mine. 

 

 

Ideas much appreciated because this is not the car I bought! Feels a little down on power but could be deceptive due to the changed vibration. 

 

Thanks in advance! 

 

mounts?

It's a thought, could a violent stall and restart really dislodge a 2 year old engine mount?
