Patrol GR 2.8 TD vibration - please read this

[npca-bruno]

Hi everyone again, Few days ago I asked help for anyone else who could advise me about a vibration in my 1999 Patrol Gr 2.8 TD6. That vibration is gone! The problem was the clutch.   But unfortunately I have a new problem and again a vibration. Thats true, I guess the vibrations wont let my Patrol GR in peace! I will decribe you the problem and ask anyone that have the same car as I do to tell me if  you experience the same problem.   The problem is: sometimes, not allways, when I start accelerating (initialy the car is stoped) the car has a non linear acceleration but a waved acceleration. This happens specially after driving it for more than 20 minutes without stoping and after stoping and then start driving again. This is when it usually does the vibration but sometimes it vibrates even in the morning either the engine is warm or cold. The vibration is stronger when the road is going up.   Anyone who has a car like mine, please exchange some ideas with me and tell me if you experience the same problem. My mechanic says that he cant work out that problem.   My e-mail is btsilva1@hotmail.com   Regards,   Bruno   PS(Please Franco contact me telling if you have the same problem)

Hi, Bruno, I apologize for my English language.As you Know I write from Italy.I don't understand very well wich is your problem but I belive that you relay to the vibration when the engine is under effort (or climbing) and ithappens when the engine is working for a lot time.If I understand well is right, I advise a little suggestion, to use on a car as our. The Patrol GR has a (turbocompressore) and it needs to be heated before start to use. This because the turbine is located in the top of the engine, while the oil that lubrificate the engine is in the bottom. The oil needs time for climing to the turbine, before that it starts to spinfast, otherwise, we risk on fast consume ,that cause a vibration. When we stop the engine after a speed trip, we must to wait before to stop the engine, because the turbine will continue to turn fast if we stop theengine immediately we provocate a lack of oil that drop down, will caused on fast consume of the turbine.This is a little advise that to cost only few minutes before and after to use your car, and will not have vibration or hiss of your turbine.I hope to be useful, and I apologize again for my English language.Hi Franco
