Hi guys,
So finally got my mk1 172 back, along with a new camshaft, cambelt kit, aux belt kit etc...
Anyway it runs really nice now, timing seems spot on, but, and there's always a but with french cars, I am getting a whole load of vibration through the pedals now, particularly when car is cold, i'm also getting cluth judder when pulling off on an incline etc.
I didnt get any of this before, I spoke to the mechanic who did the job and he explained that he jacked the engine up on the left hand side to do the belts etc, and he only took the engine mount off from the left hand side of the engine (near the oil cap etc). I did ask him if it might be gearbox mount or the mount under the battery but he said they have not been touched ?? So any ideas what this might be ? The only other thing I reckon it could be is the cat or the downpipe from exhaust manifold sending the vibrations through the footwell etc...
Please help
