On the manual 2.2, i get vibration when pulling away from stationary, up to say 20/30mph most noticeable when cold, but also there when warm. When pulling away in a straight line or as a turn. Feel it thought seat mostly, but sounds like its from engine bay area.
Pull from say 30-50 or 50-80 in same gear cannot feel it, so kinda rules out the diff? (no whine at speed either, all good there)
162k original clutch, on its way out? :-\
-
My initial reaction is clutch, possibly contamination.
-
Do thy have a DMF ?.......if not probably clutch (its done well) if so,maybe both ? :-\
-
Could be clutch do you have any slip? does it slip when you are driving and keep accelerator in same positon then push cluch pedal down till it revs then release it quickly, or does it pickup ok. Also how about prop bearing. :-\
-
Can't say i've noticed any slip, i'm lazy with handbrake too :-X
-
If it was DMF you would know it, clutch contamination or badly warm maybe.
-
Thanks all :y
Something to inspect I guess when the weather is warmer!
-
Worth checking engine / gearbox / prop. central support mounts for security, but most likely clutch judder. Do you have any signs of oil leaks around the bellhousing?

Not looked to be honest, this cold weather has given me no enthusiasm for looking under the car :-[

If you end up swapping the flywheel, you may as well change the rear crank oil seal whilst it's accessible :y

Might need to get 3.2 LPG'd before such drastic work is done, I need a cheap to run spare ;D

Sadly when the time has come to sell my trusty steed I've never been able to do it, 50mpg effective, trade parts, comfy, never let me down. Just can't do it!
Did you sell that LPG'd MV6? :-\

I'll second that :y
Don't know what its real name is but check the bolts on the big round rubber thingy :-[ that bolts between the driveshaft and the gearbox.
I had the same noise on mine last year and it turned out it had 2 bolts missing and was juddering like a good un >:(

Will do, its going to get a good look over when I set it up for summer 8)

Still on the car ::) :-[
Pulled the last cover off today for a job for a member on here so its just the cams to remove then i'm there :)
Do you want me to give them a squeeze in the vice to empty them of any old oil or leave them be ?
-
Not too fussed to be honest, still need to visit master to get his thoughts :)

Don't you knock my 2.2, I love my trusty steed. Very reliable engines, if a bit underpowered in the Omega.
