Hey guys

Over the last few days my S1 C34 RS4 has developed a vibration at idle, but only in drive or reverse gears. In park or neutral there is no vibration. The vibration can sometimes gets worse when the steering wheel is turned, and then it goes away at about 20kph or higher.

I think this started to happen after I got a wheel alignment, so im thinking there might be something that has been left a bit loose?

I havent been able to look under the car yet, so I dont know if theres anything touching where it shouldnt be, or anything like that.

Any suggestions about what to look for would be great :)

Are you sure it's not the idle speed dropping too low when the car is under load?

Strange that you only started noticing it after a wheel alignment, because it shouldn't have anything to do with that. But maybe you're right, and maybe because something has been left loose in the suspension, it's become more noticeable.

Took another look today, and the vibrating does seem to be related to the drop in revs caused by drive or reverse. It seems to be a bit intermittent, i.e happens on some days then not on others.

Do you reckon this sound like something to be worried about, or just something thats normal for a 13 year old car thats done over 130k km's?

i wouldnt be crossing a trans service off the list of things to do btw mate :(

Yeah, I have been meaning to have a trans service done, seeings as I'm not sure when the last one was done before I bought the car.

    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
