vibration though accel pedal

Amleto · 24 Jan 2011 at 10:45

On the mrs' 07 Focus (petrol), there is a vibration through the accel pedal when the revs are at 3-4k. It gets quite annoying when on the motorway...

Car was bought from a stealership and is still in warranty so asked them to look at it, but they say it's normal compared to other Focuses. Just want to make sure that it is acceptable because I haven't experienced it in any other car I have driven.

yeah, the only thing I found was from st170 and notsure if I could read that across.

I did give it back to ford a bit earlier and they changed a cable, I presume the same one they talk about in that st170 link. It helped, but the vibration is still there, just not as bad.

Also, it's def engine speed-dependent not wheel speed-dependant.

Does it have a cable throttle or electronic?

Amleto · 24 Jan 2011 at 14:44

dunno. I presume cable, as garage said they fixed/changed one the first time it was in.
