Technical Very slight shakey engine

[TheFiatMonkey09]

Hi I own a 08 bravo 1.4 16v active. Not the quickest but I love every inch of it. Lately I've noticed a bit of a shudder or shake while idling when stopped or at lights. Is it anything serious? All fluids are topped up. High grade oil put inside. And is it worth using fuel additives or oil additives?


It's not just a FIAT. It's a way of life.

It's done 61800 miles forgot to mention

Could be something as simple as duff spark plugs, when we're they all last changed?

March with it's mot and full service. Bosch spark plugs with those four pins at the end went in. I thought it could be something to do with the HT leads

HT leads are rarely used now I do believe, replaced by individual coils for each cylinder. Might be worth taking the spark plugs out just to check. I had a long problem caused by a failure of brand new NGK spark plugs on my old car.

Where do you fill up with fuel?

Hi, here in Singapore when this issue surface, we will look at both the right side's mirror(usually it is shaking) and the left side's mirror (usually fine without shaking).
If it is as mentioned above, confirm the problem is cause by engine mounting is no good any more.
Here in Singapore, we have to change our engine mountings every 30K to 40K.

my engine also vibrates quite bad,
right side mirror shakes and the left side mirror is fine.

My guess is it's the engine just starting to wear through the rubber mounting holder. Getting some high density silicone ones soon.

I have same symptoms last 30 000KM.


It vibrates a little. Could this cause bigger damage?

Which one mounting cause vibrates on page 4?

Good day

Usually is the main engine mount.
But in Singapore, most of us change 3 altogether.
Always wonder why Fiat's part is so weak?
Is there any other better quality brand for our bravo?

Regards

I wouldn't have said it weak, seems fine on UK spec'ed cars in the main.
