UPDATE:
Tie rod end on the left was completely gone, and was about to go on the right. Both replaced.
Ball joint was completely gone on the right, and the left was somewhat fine. Both replaced.
I have also went to get my wheels aligned and balanced.
Vibration 90% gone. I'm suspecting the rest...
The fuel filter is "embedded" in the low pressure fuel pump. There is no outside fuel filter that can be replaced.
I would change the valve cover. This seems like your PCV membrane is stuck sometimes. Or you can change just the PCV membrane (its a 15min job) and the part costs 15€ of Amazon.
I was investigating this myself at home, and I suspect tie rod end (not sure if it is the correct term) on the left side went bad as it had some "gap" while trying to shake the wheel. It was fine on the right side. The car is going into the shop on Wednesday to fix. It should be a one hour job.
These are the same tyres I had last year, and there was no shaking. Slight shaking was always present, as we have a bit uneven roads (lots of potholes filled) but when I put on the summer tyres - the shaking went ballistic (but only when turning the car slightly under acceleration or constant...
Basically - the vibration while turning and accelerating was not there with winter tyres. The only thing that changed is the rubber. Every rim stayed on the same side as it was.
I would think two different shops would notice something like that no? And wouldn't this imbalance be noticeable as vibration regardless of gas pedal position?
Hey guys.
I'm having aggressive shaking issues with my car.
Basically it got worse since I put on my summer tyres - they were balanced two times and no solution.
I can feel the heavier vibration on the steering wheel starting at 90kmh up to 125kmh, but when I slightly (like only about 10...
Thanks for the reply. I'll check with my mechanic next time I'm there.
EDIT: Forgot to say - that I've been monitoring the loss every 1000km. It seemed to stop on its own, as I've now driven over 3500km and didn't lose any coolant.
I used a video guide on Youtube xD
I'm confident tinkering with small electronics and chips... but my car engine? I'm nervous like a cat in a dog day care.
