Aygo rattling and vibration

[Debbie Brennan]

Hi all hoping someone can help. I have a 2012 Aygo Fire great little car. Just had a full service and new clutch fitted car is now vibrating from front when reversing. Is the rattling normal I’m worried it’s my timing chain or tensioner. I have attached a video and advice would be appreciated.

The knocking noise is a bit strange , all other noises seems ok to me. No chain rattling .

My mechanic says it’s a great car for its age full service history passed every mot apart from one. I’m wondering if it could maybe be engine mounts. Thanks for putting my mind at ease with the timing chain. Will pop it back in for him to have a look. 😊

The best is to let him check the car and his work again just in case if he had forgotten to do something if the noise and vibrations has came straight after new clutch been fitted in. Usually replacing clutch involves undoing engine or transmission mounts. He will be able to explain the noise and everything since he knows the car well.

Do you do lots of short journeys in your aygo? 

The reason I ask is because I had a 67 plate Aygo which only did short journeys and I started to get a lot of engine vibration that I could feel through the steering wheel and pedals so I took it on a 20 mile flat out trip on the motorway and all the vibration disappeared.

Yes I only do short journeys to and from work which is only an 8 mile round trip. Had a full service in may.
