a sick scooby any ideas what it could be??
 

right il explain what the problem is in the hope sumbody can tell me more.when i put my foot down the car is fine but when i take it off i get a funny like vibrating feeling thru the accelarator and when i turn the car on and off it seems to shake. i rang sumbody who services them he said it could be the start of one of the damn coil packs not working properly is he cprrect or you guys got any other ideas what it could be ????

forgot to add that it is blowing heavily form the centre section atm has only done it since then but then that wudnt explain the vibrating feeling up the pedle wud it cum on guys help!!!!!1

I would check the lambda sensor if i was you, do you know when it was last changed ? at idle and cruise (coming off the throttle) you will go into closed loop (controlled by the lambda) if its faulty, the ecu may be dumping in too much or not enough fuel, possibly causing your problems.

no sorry i dnt no when it was changed cud that explain a vibrating feeling then???it pulls like atrain still but just shakes when turned on and off

first things first correct the problem that you know you have. If your blowing badly from the centre then basically its not sealing so there will be some movement there. Whether or not this is enough to clatter against your downpipe which could then cause vibration on the engine I dont know, but fix that first and then work from there.

It could be a worn engine mount as that will give symptoms that you are experiencing, although I havent heard of it on a scoob.

hi, the centre section has hing which bolts on to thread by a bolt on to the gearbox. make sure this bolt is on securely. as the movement caused by the blowing of the centre section could have unbolted the nut from the thread slowly thus giving you vibrations.

Reason i state this as i had the same issue. however some how i managed to completely destroy the thread which hold the centre section up.

i hope that helps.

my boss said it cud be the engine mount but most ppl say theyve never heard of that b4 on a scooby.i wud replace the centre section if i can find sum1 who has one ive rung up two places near me in kent and neither of them can help me dnt no wat to do ????anybody no where i can get one

bttt

My engine mount was loose which can happen on scoobs as they vibrate quite a bit as its a flat 4.
But the the whole car shakes if this happens, at idle anyway.

How heavy is the vibration?

well when i start the car is just judders sumtimes like we wud when we cold we shake dnt we its does that for a second then stops.the vibration thru the pedle its not making ma foot go numb but i can feel it
