Vibration from accelerator pedal

[endorfin]

I have a 2.5TD estate, for a good while now (a year or so maybe longer) when I'm driving along I can feel a vibration coming from the accelerator pedal.

I should mention that I'm deaf so I wouldn't be able to hear any related noises, I can just feel the vibration on the pedal, usually when accelerating, sort of like a buzzing, I'm imaging its something catching on something and I'm feeling the feedback coming through the pedal. There's no vibration in the vehicle itself, drives smooth as silk.

I had the cambelt and balance shaft belts, tensioners and idlers changed 4k miles ago by CMS Citroen in Bexhill, as well as new alternator and drive belt. In my paranoia I'm thinking maybe it's related to something here and a belt is rubbing against something and something is going to snap.

Sorry I can't be more specific than a vibration but hopefully someone else with a 2.5 may recognise the symptoms and give me a bit of a clue.

I have driven Nigels car and car recall any vibration feeling or noise.

It seems to only happen when I'm at speed, usually on the motorway. It could be nothing but no other car I've driven does this. Oh well I suppose I'll find out what it is when something breaks! :-O

Just read a reply on the other forum from Noz which makes some sense, seems it could be the exhaust box touching the shroud, will investigate.

If you cannot hear if anything is wrong, maybe some one else might drive your car and will be able to pinpoint something wrong? I guess as well it's the exhaust box touching something..not uncommon. Especially since you mention that it happens when accelerating.

Turned out to be the rubber grommets on the centre exhaust had worn away to nothing so it was metal against metal. Replaced them with some new grommets and vibration has gone, nice easy fix.

Now my NS rear door won't open!
