Hi all,
Since new, my Euro 6MT has had a subtle vibration at 2100rpm. I first noticed it when I heard my steering lock key and the metal keychain vibrating against each other. It is quite high frequency that it only vibrates light objects such as small keys. My coins in the coin compartment doesn't vibrate as noticeably. The vibration comes when you are accelerating or decelerating (lifting foot off the gas). If you maintain the throttle at 2100rpm, it won't be as noticeable. Asked around, and some people said that the tuned headers are probably resonating at that particular rpm. It ONLY happens at around 2100rpm, not at 1000rpm, not at 6500rpm, not anywhere else. And it is not loading the engine because it happens in 2nd gear too.
Cheers,
Aaron
