Shake/vibration Problem

[BarryIQ]

I have noticed that my IQ2 sometimes Shake/Vibrate during stationary. Usually happens when I stop by the traffic light after I have driven the car for awhile.

The vibration only happens on the left hand side (my IQ is a right hand drive one) and it is strong enough to cause small items I stored in the compartment to hit other and make some annoying noise.

If anyone also getting the same problem?

"They all do that sir".

IME part of the interesting features of a 3 cylinder VVTi engine at rest after running on part throttle from cold.

My 2 iQ's have done it on some fuels on odd occasions,usually just after the engine is up to running temp,

no other apparent reason other than the 95 octane fuel,

never get it now on 99 or 100 octane.

Driven iQ3's (4 cylinders) a few times now & they are a different running engine noise & vibration wise,

but i missed the 3 cylinder noise/vibration/shake.

It was meant in humour (failed) & as the type of answer regularly given by Car Dealer Salesmen in the past.

(Thats why i put it in quotations)

I agree, it is a crap answer.

Sorry to fall below your standard's.

So is there a problem of balancing shaft?... It should be Mr.T's fault isnt it?

Annoying rattle during the vibration when cold.

Check the plastic under guards/tray.

The one under my fuel tank has taken a droop & a slight humming rattle.

The one in front of the fuel tank guard on the passenger side of a right hand drive car has really got an annoying rattle & now has 2 additional zip ties holding it to keep it from being so noisy.
