Hi Folks,
I have a 2001 Audi A4 1.9 TDI and recently the engine has started to shake/wobble quite a lot on idle once the engine has warmed up. When the car is started from cold its fine no shaking/wobble on idle at all, after its warmed up say 15/20 minutes on idle only it starts rocking from side to side.
If i increase the revs on idle just ever so slightly the shaking stops and engine is stable, pushing the clutch up or down out of gear makes no difference. If i have the car in gear and bring up the clutch the engine stops shaking and becomes stable. Whilst driving the car its absolutely fine and doesn't shake or vibrate at all.
I've had a look around the engine and the egr valve is leaking and has been dripping on the manifold, I've taken the cam cover off and where the injectors are there is oil there and the electric connections that connect to the injectors have a slight covering of oil. Should there be any oil where the injectors are? I've attached some images.
