You generally get vibration in ANY car when the aircon kicks in...
I get that vibration through the accelrator when the a/c starts up.
Never at any other time.
It doesn't bother me at all to be honest with you, everytime the a/c spins i feel it, but.. It's like a foot massage. :)
Just thinking... If you look near the firewall under the engine bay, up towards the drivers side front windscreen. You will see two silver pipes with a small black cable running to the passenger side. I think from where the cable is connected to on the black plastic clip too the two silver pipes (pretty sure there a/c) maybe that's how the vibration runs through to the accelrator pedal. (This is a total guess!)
I never got this sort of vibration in my WRX; I never got it in my 2001 Civic 5D hatch; and I don't experience it in my wife's Jazz VTi. It's a sign of unrefinement. The vibration in my car can sometimes get so bad that it sounds like a clattering tractor. I even wrote to the CEO of Honda Australia sayng just that. As I mentioned before, their reaction was to pat me on the head, reassure me that I would live a more peaceful life if I accepted it and then say they weren't going to do anything about it.Quote:

Aravinth, when your car is stopped and you experience the vibration, is your transmission in D or N/P?
My Transmisson is on D....
What shits me the most is that Honda knows about this issue and arent doing anything to fix it....
How long does it take, before some one gets back to you, once a complaint is made to Honda Australia. Its been more than a week now, and havent received a phone call back.
Im thinking it also what oil they use for the car, that makes the vibration to occur, and the kind of fuel we use for the car.
Once i started using BP Ulimate, can see a difference, but the vibration is still there, but not as bad as before. I was using Shell V - Power, before that, and didnt make any difference.
I think once i get my car serviced again, not with Honda, but with Ultra Tune who are better, and cheaper, i'm thinking this issue would be resolved.
In this case, it happens to almost ALL automatic transmission cars that don't disengage when fully stopped. Only cars like the Holden Astra and Mercs won't have the vibration.Quote:

The Toyota Corolla and Yaris sedan that I drove vibrated when I stopped and it was in D.
It's because your gear is engaged, so the ATF in the torque convertor is trying to slip because you are holding your brakes. Of course, the input of the torque convertor rotates because your engine is at 700rpm while the output side is stopped because you are holding your brakes. Since the ATF fluid is working as it should, your engine RPM is being pulled down to maybe 600.
But does it vibrate so much that it gets so annoying to press the acclerator.
Well ill be changing the oils soon.
Just advise i need to watch out when i do for servicing...
In the 10,000km service what do i need to watch out for. LIke i know the oil needs to be changed and so does the oil filter. What else do they do at this service. Cause they charge you at a rate of $270.00, so just wondering.
And i'm going to be using a Fully Synethic Oil, like Mobil 1 or Motul. Which one should i go for,and what series
Use either 0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40 or 10w-40 oils. Nothing else.
Have you asked your dealer to change the ATF?
Na i didnt ask him about the AFT...
AFT (Automatic Fluid Tramission)...is that what it stands for.
Yeh but which one is better Mobil or Motul....
Close, ATF = automatic transmission fluid.Quote:
