Engine Vibration
The second dealer wanted to replace the motor mounts but couldn't guarantee that it was going to solve the problem so I decided not to spend the $1,100 (out of warranty). I still think there's an issue with how it was put back together after the timing chain tensioner / chain replacement. LR... -

Hey Donnie, they replaced that solenoid on mine too and it still shakes. I took it to another dealer who says it's not normal and they are trying to diagnose the cause. Seems like a big logjam with everyone pointing fingers. Not sure what my next step is. Frustrated. -

No real progress here. Got it back last week and they replaced a solenoid for the variable valve timing system and told me to drive it. It feels like it's getting worse so I called Land Rover HQ and they're looking into it. They spoke to the dealer and the dealer is telling them that it's a... -

The dealer has had it since Monday and just called to say that they feel the vibration is normal. I told the service manager he didn't know what he's talking about and got a line of BS that a vibrating engine is "inherent in the design". Going to call Land Rover and try to get some help. -

He said that after talking to some LR techs he knows and an actual LR engineer, that it's quite safe to say that they didn't do the job right. The LR engineer was saying that there are several components that... -

Wow you have the same issue!? Definitely let me know how taking it back to the dealer plays out. When I took it back, they told me it was normal and that they weren't willing to look into it further. I took it to a local independent shop where the owner is the retired service manager from the... -

Thanks, R Hermann. Good call on the spark plugs, and/or a clogged injector. I'm going to take it somewhere else for a second opinion today and hopefully get to the bottom of this. It was a highway queen when I bought it and has since seen a little use offroad but the vibration is present in or... -

Engine Vibration
Hey everyone - I have an 11 LR4 with 77K miles on it. Had it in to the dealer last week for replacement of the timing chain tensioners due to a loud ticking noise. When I got the car back, the engine is making a very noticeable vibration at low RPM (idle - 1500). More so under load. It wasn't...
