I just bought an used car and I love it (Ford Focus 2005)
only thing that concerns me is that there's a lot of vibration coming from the engine
At different RPMs I can hear things rattle all over the car and I'm 100% sure that is coming from the engine.
Anybody has any ideas of what could be causing this?
Thanks
Thanks
Just found this video on youtube about it
I'm gonna try lifting the engine up a little with a 2 by 6 and a jack and see if the vibration goes away.
If the 2005 is anything like my daughter's 2003 that's a very good deduction. Also check the pulley and shaft on the A/C, the shaft has a tendency to bend.
Don't lift the engine too much with the jack you might damage something else. Lift just enough to take some pressure off the mounts.
Could one of the cylinders be along for the ride? Misfire?
Good luck
With engine OFF and COLD...
Open hood.
Grab the valve cover and see if you can rock the engine back/forth (front to back of car).
If it is very difficult to move it, mounts are probably fine.
