Engine Vibration on acceleration 02 3.0l tip.

[Tommy K]

Ok here is my issue, my car has been running normal since I got the car a year ago. Now it has this noticeable vibration when I accelerate on the car its not from my suspension or rotors. Its most def my engine, now the mileage is at 53k and it started when I would go into the higher speeds now it happens right when I press the acceleration pedal. I have a 6speed tip transmission. Any help in this matter would be great. I did have the stratmosphere intake on the car but took it off so I can smog my car which it passed with flying colors. Could this be caused from my tranny? Or could it be my mounts? I would assume that since the mileage is pretty low the engine mounts should be good. Any ideas?

change your spark plugs and coils

[Tommy K]

Yea I could do that however I would assume that with it running the way it does it would trigger a CEL? I don't have my CEL flashing which is kinda odd.

doesnt mean it going to throw a cel, if you drop a CP then it will CEL but if you have a fouled plug or one plug is going its best to change them, regardless if thats the issue or not its peace of mind, as a blown CP where ever u are is a PITA

is your CV boot cut? maybe your CV axles then lead the the engine vibration.
btw, how can you have 6spd tip transmission? always 5spd tip

[onceover]

he probably has a CVT which tells him he has 6 "gears" while running in tip mode

Yea I got the CVT 6 speed, yea I will have to probably check my axles and see if thats the cause however if not then I will check my plugs and spark. Last time I was in at the dealership I saw that the coilpacks were done however I will have to confirm that.

Ok lifted the car up and it was my inner CV boots that were ripped, causing the vibration.

[Maverick]

replace those CV axles, you need the complete assembly

[AudiRepair4Less]

I beleive you can replace the inner Cv joots by themselves. save a little money then complete axles...

[Tommy K]

yea its in the shop as we speak, man its expensive but dang.

i replaced both of mine which were $700ish
