Hi I have a audi a4 b7 2.0 tdi 2006 my car is driving fine... when engine gets to operating temperature the car vibrates and shakes at idle no smoke or anything idle is not hunting .. had vcds on to check everything seems good only got p0674 code for glow plug . Checked injectors all in spec cylinder 1. -0.16 mg . Cylinder 2. - 0.02 mg . Cylinder 3 . 0.28 mg . Cylinder 4 . -0.07 mg .. but injection quantity is bouncing around 1.5 mg to 2.5 mg/str and it says it supposed to be around 3.0 to 9.0 mg/str is there any way you can adjust that thanks ..

The 140ps tdi engines have a common issue when shaking on idle when warm - highly likely its the DMF (dual mass flywheel) is on its way out. It almost feels like the car is vibrating/wobbling slightly when warm and idle - you probably feel it throughout the whole car. When driving normally, the car drives fine and feels like it has no issues. Its a common issue, and many people have reported that it can be like that for 30-40k miles plus (they've just put up with it).
