Vibration - Flywheel? Converter? Harmonic balancer?
2000 SS A4
1. Vibration in Park and Neutral @ 1,450 RPM
2. Vibration when taking off slowly, at the top of 1st, 2nd, D and OD (Every time the car hits 1,450 RPM)
3. Vibration on deceleration around 45-50 mph (1,450 RPM)
4. It runs pretty smooth otherwise, the vibration will go away depending on speed / RPM.
- Engine doesn't flop around when brake torquing a little in Drive or Reverse.
- Trans mount seems fine, Trans not hitting tunnel when shifting in/out of gear
- Bangs thru all the gears fine, runs out good, no codes for misfire.
- Stock engine mounts, Stock Trans mount
Mechanic is trying to tell me I should try injectors and plugs
I'm thinking not because it vibrates on deceleration with foot off of gas pedal
Maybe the flywheel or converter? OR bad harmonic balancer?
Would a bad harmonic balancer cause these types of vibrations?
Or would the stock engine mounts soak up the vibration and make it un-noticeable?
I'm searching around but any help would be much appreciated

Any codes at all? If it was an injector issue, most likely it would throw a code.

No just rear 02 code and AIR pump code...
Runs good, good power, I'm thinking the spark/injector issue could be ruled out since it does the same vibration on deceleration?
It feels like a circular motion type vibration, I've felt misfires before on other vehicles and I've been wrong before but I don't believe it is a misfire.

Anyone hear of the Flex plate or Torque Converter causing vibrations in A4 cars?
Is it a common problem?
