Avensis Repair
My 2007 Avensis (2 litre diesel) has been making a low vibrating noise at around 1,800rpm for a month or two now. I had it in under warranty last month and had some work done on the flywheel, as the technician had felt some vibration and identified one or more loose bearings. This didn't actually fix the problem I'd reported though, so this time a technician came out on the road with me for a few minutes to see if he could figure out what the problem was. He quickly came to the conclusion that the air intake filter was vibrating against the car body and it was that that was amplifying the sound and making the noise. After replacing the insulation around the filter, the problem was quickly resolved.
