Honda Accord 2.2 CDTi 2004 - Vibration from front under acceleration #

Posted by Simon Dean on February 17, 2011, 9:13 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2004
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 2.2cdti

Hi
I have the above vehicle that has a front vibration under acceleration,worse 2nd 3rd gear wot.

We have replaced a centre osf drive shaft support bearing and the shaft for excess play/wear.

Nsf inner tie rod joint worn has also been replaced along with 2 front tyres.

We still have this front end vibe,it makes the front of the car to shimy and can be felt through
pedals also.

Anyone seen or have experience of this?
Any Honda techs here!

Thanks Tony,

I have had time to drive this car today a little more.
The vibration can be felt in 4th gear 2000 rpm and causes the clutch pedal to flutter.
Further increases in torque/speed make it become worse.

My thoughts now are either a NSF drive shaft inner joint wear causing the engine unit to kick under load or a dual mass flywheel issue.

The vehicle has done 140k and the owner purchased it at 50k and no clutch replacement.

If anyone knows an experienced Honda tech would appreciate any further info/advice as its an un see able fault on inspection.

Hello Simon i find generally that when its worn shafts you get most of the vibes through the steering wheel, when its been dual mass flywheels going off centre or excess play the whole car tends to shake.
If you lightly rest your foot on the clutch can you feel it pulsating ?

Hi Lee
Yes with your foot on the pedal it pulsates at 2000 rpm and as you increase speed and torque it increases and eventually it causes the front of the car to sort of shake.

Dual mass issue Lee........

Its always hard to say without feeling the fault Simon, but i would say if there is alot of pulsing through the clutch pedal i would be going more with dual mass.
Another pointer for dual mass is if you listen to the engine as you turn the key off sometimes just as the engine comes to rest you get a "chacky chack " sound ...best way i can describe it , it the noise of the excessive play in the dual mass unit .

Hi
Yes i agree,there is no noise on stopping the engine and no visual signs upon inspection.

Got Honda to test drive it and they couldn't give a definitive answer either.

So i have explained the possibilities to the customer.

Thanks
Simon
