Excessive engine vibration

Post by barbelbob »

Hi Guy's,
Our Westy (1.6td JX) has started to develop excessive engine vibration when idling. In travel nothing is different. Just when sat in traffic or at the lights. If i increase the revs very slightly though, everything's happy days.

Has anyone else experienced this/ clues to the cause?

All info/ advice gratefully received.
cheers,
Rob

worn engine mounts due to being covered in oil over the years they have either perished or they have split
