Help please -Low speed vibration.

Postby Out6ack » Mon May 27, 2013 7:59 pm

G'day all,

2005 3.0 outback auto 150000ks. Haltech ignition & ECU tricked up by PULSE @ 100000ks.

The car vibrates slightly at 1500-2000 revs on light throttle at very low speeds 15-30kph. Crawling along in traffic type situations or slowly accelerating from an intersection. It can only be felt around this rev range, give it the berries & it's fine. It's only, been since the last 6mths & gradually getting slightly worse. Happens whether wheels straight or turned.
I've given the car a 150K service by changing every fluid in the car, plugs, filter, upper engine cleaner etc. I had the auto serviced by the pro's as I thought this was where the problem was. Nup, the trans was fine. :?

Any ideas?

Thanx in advance.

Jay.

Could be misfiring due to the load and rpm. Get someone to drive it with a scan tool and check knock correction and the like.

Possibly even a coilpack failing? Yet I've never heard of it on a H6.
