HELP! 2003 FORD FOCUS 1.6 Zetec SE VIBRATIONS

[Matthew Cain]

Got an issue with engine vibrations inside the car, you can really feel it at 2k revs through steering wheel. Higher the revs the more consistent it gets.

Engine itself is running as normal, no EML, no decrease in MPG, no smoke, no abnormal noises, no power loss etc.

This issue happened all of a sudden, felt I came to a stop at a red light on my way to work and could feel a slight judder in clutch on hillstarts only, initially I thought it was just a clutch judder but further investigation cancelled that out.

Have replaced all motor and gearbox mounts

It's definitely inertia from the engine running, but when I press clutch in it doesn't go away or get worse so to me that cancelled out any problems with clutch or flywheel.

Front Subframe is in good condition, all bushes are OK, all gears work as normal, no missing nuts or bolts anywhere, brand new mounts.

Checked oil and its nice and clean, no signs of any metal particles.

 

Any ideas? Thanks

my old car did something similar with no code, it was misfiring. one of my cylinder was losing compression.

Would have thought it'd be running a bit more lumpy and a loss of power if it was a compression issue.

Might look at getting a compression test done just in case.

Already checked the oil and its very clean, especially since it done 10k miles since last service a year ago
