matt a:
Like others have said, you need your wheels rebalanced, by the sound of it.
Hurdy:
Found anything yet Steve?
Phil Mcavity:
Tyre pressures?? :confused:
Had a tyre pressure warning light this afternoon , but didnt think too much of it, as outside temp was very hot, perhaps i have a slow punture.
will check those in the morning 1st thing just to make sure.
Cheers for your advice Hurdy and Hedge :drinking:
and others too :smiley:
will update in the morning :happy2:
john_o:
sorry to hear Phil.
Out of interest is it better or worse in a low gear quick accel (2nd) vs 6th gear low revs pull??
the latter may make it worse (by placing more load on the coilpack) and feel rougher...
If its a coil pack the CEL will probably light very soon too :surprised:
on a side note, 12 or 7 weights to balance a wheel that seems already a bit excessive to me...
Phil Mcavity:
ok, out to get morning papers, rechecked tyre pressures and found one at 30 psi and others 34psi.
Set all wheels by hedges reccommendation of 39psi (2.6Bar) and seems to have improved it slightly but still not great.
accelarate from 70mph to 90ish i get the feeling the balancing is wrong, i can feel ever so slightly wheel shake, but travelling at a constant speed is fine at ANY SPEED, and hasnt lost any performance, so coil pack or missfire i think can be ruled out.
Agree with you John_o, 12 weights seems abit excessive, not sure whether to go back to the place that done the balancing or go somewhere else to see if they agree and redo them.
2nd gear accelation is smooth as , holding any speed is smooth, only apon acelarating from 70 and beyond, it happens.
