I've noticed that my Vauxhall Corsa shakes or vibrates when I press on the gas pedal to accelerate. It doesn't seem to happen when I'm idling or driving at a constant speed. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyHi Marie, it sounds like you may have an issue with your engine or transmission mounts. These mounts help to stabilize your engine and transmission, preventing them from vibrating too much. If they become worn or damaged, they can cause the shaking you are experiencing. I suggest taking your car to a mechanic to have them inspected and potentially replaced.
Hi Marie, another possible cause could be an imbalance in your wheels or tires. If one or more of your wheels is out of balance, it can cause your car to shake when accelerating. I recommend taking your car to a tire shop to have them check the balance of your wheels and possibly rotate your tires to see if that helps.
Hi Marie, in some cases, a misfiring engine can also cause vibration when accelerating. This can be caused by a number of things, such as faulty spark plugs or a clogged fuel injector. It's best to take your car to a mechanic to diagnose the specific issue and get it fixed as soon as possible.
