Noisey Volkswagen Sharan at idle
Our VW Sharan TDi 1.9. Makes a loud vibrating sound (very audible inside car). Just listening around it appears to be coming from the back of engine / steering rack area. Also it only vibrates when idling. A bit of gas and sound goes away. Most noticeable when turning steering wheel (while idling and car is stationary). I'm guessing something todo with steering but not sure why it's only noisey when idling.

I have a 2008 Mondeo that has done 45,000 miles.
Recently I have noticed a wobble/virbation in the car when idling only. It seems to smooth out at speed. I have taken it to the dealer once to get it...
I've got vibration at cold & idle at 1600-1800 revs, then tails away. When driving cold, it loses power at that rev range too.
My mechanic has said it's an imbalance in the engine. No fuel issues, flywheel...
When I start my Golf in the morning the engine shakes a lot after a few minutes. The traction contol system sign comes up. I can feel vibration in my car while driving and engine noise is different.
