Bit of a wobble going on...

[Shotoman]

Hi there. I am finding that when I start up the car, there is a definate wobble felt within the car, normally as I am reversing out of a space or the such?

Is this just a cold engine thing or should I be looking a bit deeper for an underlying issue?

This is as per the car in my signature, below

Thank you.

Could be engine mountings but then again if the engine is misfiring on startup that might be the cause. Might be worth a tune-up before progressing further especially if the plugs and leads are the originals.

I agree, could be engine mounts

Thank you

Thank you for that.

I have actually noticed that this "wobble" effect is only when the car is at rest with the engine running.

Are the engine mounts something that would be covered via a warranty?

It depends upon the warranty, there is one way of finding out ask the warranty company

Could also be plug leads - the V6 is twin spark so with 1 plug weak/missing, it feels a little out of balance without the full effect of a misfire. Mine felt like the brake disks were warped when creeping in gear.
