Heres one for all you clevor people.

I've just picked my Scoob up from the garage.

Just had a new Cam belt, Crank Drive oil seal and oil change including oil filter.

Car ran fine before the work but now when the car sits idling at say lights, the car wobbles/judders side to side, I lifted the bonnet when I got home and I can see the engine juddering side to side.

The car still runs super smooth but when I pull up to lights I get sea sick

Could this be timing?

Any help would be great.

Oh yeah also had the radiator off, so needed water and coolant.

 

Maybe they've put too much salt in the coolant, that would account for the sea sickness you are feeling perhaps


Seriously, I haven't got a clue mate sorry, I'm sure someone else will though, good luck

 

Very Good m8

 

sounds like it could be and engine mount to me mate

 

Thats what I was thinking, but dunno what I'm looking for.
Just strange that it never did it b4.
However I think theres an extra 15 miles on the clock!

 

Different people disconnect different hoses when doing cambelt.
You need to make sure all are reconnected and secure.
If you're not sure you need someone who is to take a look and at wiring connections in case something has been disturbed.

 

Cambelt a tooth out maybe...???? and there's no way anyone working on my car would get away with doing 15 miles in it.....

 

I had similar but only when I took the missus out in it.






























I cured it by insisting she wore a bra.

 

U reckon that could be the proble. It idles fine in the rev range?

 

Should I try ressetting the ECU?

Could this make a difference?

Just gonna go search how this is done

 

Just found this posted


"Taking it to a main dealer is no guarantee of success either.
Had mine replaced at a Osbourne's which has since closed. Car juddered at idle. Took it back. "Nothing wrong."
4 visits to another dealer "Days of Chelmsford" - "ECU shows no faults"

Finally the third dealer I tried (Wilsons - Chadwell Heath ) found that one of the pulleys was one tooth out of position. So, for 6 months the timing has been shot.
Here's hoping there's no lasting damage.

Good luck

So I'm thinking I have the same problem

 

Job sorted chaps.

Was something very simple.
Yet another waste of worry.

 

Well what very simple thing was it?

 

Yeah what was it?
