Vibration from stationary

[pbeatty]

Hey all, noticed something developing the last few days. I’m getting a slight vibration / clicking from the engine bay when accelerating from stationary in 1st and a little of it when shifting to 2nd.

Thinking it could be a cv axle? Strut tower perhaps?

Doesn’t feel like the clutch plate as im not having any slipping, shifting the gears are all good. No power loss.

Shook the engine and the passenger mount seems solid.

Possible DMF/ Dual Mass Flywheel starting to say good bye.

Good idea but probably not. Aluminum flywheel put in maybe 20k miles ago. Might be affecting the internals but I doubt it since I don’t drive the car like a monkey.

Which flywheel?

turn hard in both directions at parking lot speeds, slowly adding throttle. do you hear clicking then?

Check the passenger side engine mount. I had a clack noise on clutch release that was resolved by its replacement. I only noticed it due to odd/excess engine movement while idling.

There is a lot of noise isolation between the clickity clackity engine bay and passenger cabin. If any of it is out of place, you'll hear that in the passenger cabin and think something is wrong.
