On my daily car it shakes in when idling, it goes away when you put the revs on a little bit. It happens no matter what gear it is in even neutral... Also it has a shake down low when crusing in 5th, it's like a pulsating shake. Anyone know what the problem is?? Cheers Jono

Possible Engine mounts/ trans mounts.

it your car manual or auto? if its an auto i think it might be your transmission! it kinder sounds what happened to mine! it went a way when i got a new trans

My car shakes at idle too.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha I had an issue where mine was shaking like a bitch... pulled over and one of the leads had come off WHOOPS.

Same, however if you have an MSD you gotta remember to turn the car off first.. otherwise it farkin hurts!

It's a manual, i think the mounts are all ok, been over the pits they didn't say anything about replacing the mounts or anything, dont think its the trans mounts as i have had another put gearbox in... Checked the leads, dont think it's them either...

i have this on the g/fs car its a manual though. sounds like its running rough though but the engine is shaking so i know whats doin it. just changed oil+filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and hasnt changed. i'll try leads Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

common problem in them is the trans mounts although that sounds like its the engine mounts as it does it when ideling trans mounts will do it every now and then when you accellorate aswell

What about the idle speed adjuster screw, just a thought

or even tps?...

sounds like you have a problem -BERLINA-, tell us what it is when you fix it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah took the easy option: just went and sold it!!!

tailshaft centre bearing maybe ?

mate i got the same problem with my VL it shakes while its in bout 4th, 5th gear doing bout 70kms....but with mine it stops as i turn on the power button...ive always thought it was my tailshaft, but ive also been told could be the gear box...now on i just leave the power button on

And it's "4th" or "overdrive" (this has been debated many many times over). There's no 5th in a VL auto box.

AGREED stokowagn! dude how much you get for it? and my dads wagon did the same and as soon as he fixed the uneversal joint it stoped doing it.

mine used to do it due to crap oil and fuel changed the oil filter, oi,l sparks, leads and dizzy and it seemed to fix things. Then i reset the AFM (or i think i did) back to .385 and she works a treat

dam there is alot of post about different reasons why the VL Shakes i think the VL might have had a big problem with this Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
