Hi after I took my clio in for the MOT i noticed it had a very annoying vibration, it became more apparent when you blipped the throttle, making the steering wheel and dash vibrate, but then it disappears above 1200RPM. So setting off makes it vibrate etc..
The bloke at the garage said he 'grafted' a new mount for me to stop the gearstick moving (which worked as the gearstick didn't move after the MOT)
However where did this vibration come from? He said as one vibration went it shifted it to another area, in the end i just lived with it.
So what is likely to be causing it? I have a valver on the drive that doesn't vibrate so thinking of swapping some mounts over.. mines a 1.4 though.
Are the mounts the same as the 1.4rt? 1st port of call is the gearbox mount i think but how hard is it to take off and fit to mine? If it still does it, it i hope it is the dogbone, i really hope it isn't that expensive one!
Any help, pics appreciated!
thanks.
