Hello Everybody,
I've read some other forums mostly AU and EU about rough idle/shaking issues, just wanted to hit up this community, see if anyone else has/had this issue and what the culprit might be in my case.
Ive had this problem for quite some time now, and at 1st it was avoidable - within normal-ish - behavior, however it has recently escalated to something that requires more immediate attention.
When I start the car the engine feels great, -runs smooth, revs clean- for the first 1/2 second, and then devolves into a shaking mess. This is at its worst on a cold start, it shakes horribly until the engine reaches whatever temp that the RPM's drop to about ~750 at which point it still shakes, but at like 30% of inital -yet still highly noticeable- especially when looking at the passenger seat/steering wheel.
The car is pretty stock, i have a K&N, some R8 coils and new NGK spark plugs - the plugs ive changed twice thinking they were the issue.
The car throws no codes. Really doesn't feel like a misfire, the engine mounts are all good - the clutch is do for a replacement but idk how/if that would be related. I only mention the clutch because gear switching has become stiff, and i know the mk6 R was not known for a robust clutch - also looking for a clutch make/model suggestion from those of you with experience, and could the stiff shifting be a synchro issue, are those a per-gear thing or is there just one, can it be swapped out during the clutch job?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
TLDR:Car shakes at idle like a terrified crack-head going through withdrawls -anyone else? Potential culprits?
Thanks!
Aside: No issues when at higher speeds/gears no shaking issues with acceleration fuel economy etc.
