Vibration

If manual DMF could be a possibility when under extra load

 

[Stephan Marchant]

As it is an Elddis it is probably on a BPW chassis?

Yes

This might help you,
Tow hitch

I have looked at paper work it has a winterhoff WS3000. If the ball has grease on the ball and the hitch has friction plates could this cause a problem

Wot is DMF as car is a manual

 

[birdman101]

Dual Mass Flywheel. The first signed when failing is vibration

Don't think car has one as to old but not sure

I am not sure it would cause the vibration, but the tow ball should be grease and paint free, clean both the tow ball and hitch with , a degreaser, brake cleaner is good.

Don't diesel twin clutch synchro gearboxes have a DMF then? If they don't my VAG independent needs retraining

Fred Drift is booking in folks, , just that I know. Nothing about DMF's

A DMF could well be responsible for vibrations under load. All I know about the car is that it's a 2012 Nissan X trail and it is manual. So don't rule out a DMF as an option until you know for certain that the car doesn't have one. But by 2012 DMFs were well established fitments in cars, and some petrol and diesels X trails had them.

X trail started fitting DMF about 2002 onwards
Around 2012 2013 Kia Sorento DMFs were failing

Go back to basics, if it’s been stood change the tyres and get them balanced, then start to look elsewhere.

The car is a 2012 2.0 diesel x trail, I don't know wot a DMF is so can't say if it has one or not. But I have just taken it to try again with it empty and still the vibration is still there not as bad, I will be changing the tyres this week and going to get the car suspension looked at just to make sure that is all good.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks stephan

Hope that the simple steps outline resolve your vibration issue. 🤞

On thought does the car need tyre pressures changed when towing.

DMF dual mass flywheel is part of the clutch on a manual gearbox car. Being dual mass they go out of balance as wear takes place causing vibration.
