MK4 1.8 TDCI cylinder balance

Featured Replies

Hi all, ive noticed an issue with my mk4 mondeo, it likes to vibrate a bit at 1200-2000RPM when sitting in neutral as well as slight diesel knock around that range when the engine is warm while driving the car.

I have also had a look at the Cylinder balance on all four cylinders and number 3 seems to be a bit of a big outlier. I dont know if this is a massive issue or not.

One last thing i have also checked all of my injectors and they all end in the number 2. meaning they are likely the non defective batch from siemens?

 

Any help would be greately appreiciated, thanks!

I have also a mk4 1.8tdci.

And it also vibrates too if revving on neutral.

Also when driving , some weird noise on approx 2800rpm , i am not sure what is it , might be imbalance too.

I have Forscan and cable , but i don´t even know what that cylinder balance indicates and how it is measuring that parameter?

Is there some bad injectors fitted in those cars? and what p/n are bad ones?

Hi did you ever figure this out? I also have near enough the same readings as you and I’m wondering is this is normal or not
