iddle vibrations ...GONE!

90rr · 12-20-2011, 02:13 PM

I had a problem with a idle vibrations. Not too violent but noticeable when A/C is off .Saturday night my starter died (Thanks everyone for help)...My mechanic told me when he got exhaust manifold disconnected there was some oil sludge build up around exhaust for first 2 cylinders ( i forgot exact explanation) . He said that is common for e90 . So he cleaned that and changed manifold gasket (+ installed new starter) . Vibrations are completely gone , and car pulling better first couple minutes i was thinking that car is in DS mode .
I was thinking that is placebo effect at first ,but there absolutely no vibrations with or without ac.
Hope this will help someone .
Peace !

Awesome. Glad your issue was resolved. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay to have the repairs done?
