had my manifold changed to a high flow one on my s3, and now the steering wheel is vibrating when ever sat still. Basically like a bus lol. I know that they dropped the subframe when changing it could they of put it back incorrectly. And what could be causing the vibrating could it be the down pipe. Btw it's the v4 pro manifold and the down pipe is the pipeworx 3" with decat.
 
I suspect that the DP is touching somewhere on the rack... I have heard reports that the V4 sits the turbo and subsequently the DP too low... dunno if its this thats the issue but if you are getting vibrations through the wheel then something is touching the rack or similar

<tuffty/>
 
I will have to get it on a ramp, and have a look. it's the first time I let some one else touch the car. as I just CBa to do the work then this happens gutted.

what mani what downpipe?
 
Yeh its all in his original post
The one you quoted lol
 
Unfortunately this happens with all aftermarket manifolds as the position of the turbo is slightly altered, therefore the downpipe is now in the wrong position also causing it to vibrate off anything it touches.
 
Many vibrate when sat at the lights and on and off when drivig
 
on a serious note, anyone embarking on more from their k04s, hybrids, manifolds etc, Please dont neglect your engine mounts. I see so many motors flop around like a **** in a bucket on tired floppy mounts, inc dog bones
