hi
i was just wondering , my cousin has a problem with his clio in that when he is idle at traffic lights etc or stationary, the care idles properly, revs normal, but the car shakes or vibrates.. dunno how to describe it, was wondering what it is?

i did have this on my clio aswel, but it wasnts all the time like his, it was now and again, usually after hard braking.. but it'll idle normally and then vibrate and shake as if being revved.. but it isnt..

Thanks

If the car seems to perform OK,then I suspect one of the engine mountings is worn/broken.

We had a forum member with a Megane that was doing the exact same thing,and he cured his by replacing a mounting,but I can't remember which one.:eek:

Hi it must be a renault thing as my 02 dci laguna does exactly the same thing. The last time it did this was about 2 weeks ago after a motorway trip. I have been informed that it could be the air intake that joins to the filter box is taking in to much air as when you floor it it sounds like a tank ( have to turn the radio up to drown it out) so i'm gonna try a bit of gaffa tape on the join to the air box to see if this cures it. I'll let you know how it goes
