Mk4 Mondeo Vibration through Accelerator @2000-3000rpm
Discussion
'59' Mk4 Mondeo TDCI 140
I appear to have a vibration through the accelerator pedal. It is a fairly mild vibration at tickover, but, when on the move, it increases from around 2000rpm and peaks as an unpleasant, harsh "buzz" (like you'd get from drilling concrete) at around 2750-3000rpm. Above 3000rpm it tails off (I'm aware of the concepts of harmonics, resonance etc.).
If I dip the clutch/shift into neutral and release the accelerator the buzz returns to that of idle.
Are these symptoms of impending DMF destruction?
The car is only 2 years old so I could approach Ford, who will probably try to tell me that,
"they all do this, sir".
ps. My trusty Mk3 Mondeo never did this.
