W211 Vibrating when in D mode

[Guest Brian]

Hi all, would like to ask all seniors here as i

just bought a used w211 recently & realise

that whenever the gear is in D mode while

stepping on the brake,can feel the car seems

to vibrate,wondering if its the engine mounting,

anyone experience this before?Thanks & regards.

when braking can feel the vibration? If yes, Is likely the brake mechanism is the caused. The usually suspect is wore out rotor (warp) & brake pad. Do check the caliper sign of crack etc which unlikely. Did ask the dealer when is the last servicing & what's the mileage of yr ride? During test drive u didn't feel the car vibrate when braking?

Orh!! Congras & welcome!!

high chances is the engine mounting.....

worst scenario could be engine itself running on low air/fuel mixture. idling rpm drop.... try cleaning up the carbon build up within the intake system first.

I think TS meant the car in D with brakes on.

[Guest Brian]

yup bro Jtang is right,u can feel the car vibrate when u engage in D

mode,the rpm or idling did not drop,btw any bro know how much the cost

to change the mounting,thanks.

[Guest blackmercs]

I see, not when braking then I don't know liao.

[Guest jhun_4040]

Nope done at work shop. Look for DarkAv aka Michael. He will quote u a reasonable price !

[Guest NewC180]

TS, try this:

When you stop at a traffic light, with gearshift in D and stepping on the brake, does the car vibrate?

Next, shift your gear shift to neutral, does the car vibrate lesser or stop vibrating?

If answers to both above questions are yes, then most likely the engine mountings are due for change.
