Vibration at 2k RPM

Featured Replies

Ive been ignoring the ever growing vibration as much as possible but have gotten a week off specifically to work on my car soon so looking to start getting bits sorted might aswell have a look

I suspect the turbo is on its way out but welcome to suggestions.

The noise is at 2k RPM, any gear, only 100rpm lower or higher and its completely fine. Something rotational is hitting some sort of resonant frequency and shaking through the car.

The best I could describe it would be like strapping a giant electric toothbrush to the car at 2000 RPM it sings loud )
Almost like the car is struggling like you would before a stall but right at your peak torque so you just get the vibration feeling with non of the stalling engine behaviour

This happens in all gears, stationary or not but is worse under load in 5th and stepping down each gear the vibration get lesser but can still feel stationary.

It feels right as its where the turbo starts to come to life and in the last few weeks noticed oil coming from the exit side of my intercooler so figure turbo is probably on its way out.

Anyone had anything like this? It is really odd.

The only other thread I can find of this someone mentions timing and aux pulleys, there where done mid to end 2024 so not super new but new enough as to where I am not concerned it is these. I have had a quick check on belt condition no cracks what youd expect from a 2 year old belt, looks pretty fresh. Its never had a DMF or clutch done and its at 115k so it could be this but I have absolutely no problems going into any gears at all and no clunkyness from the clutch
