    Thanks a alot for your reply. i have no Idea when was the timing belt replaced as i have the car since last year and a sticker in car only says next replacement which is due at 190000km and car is yet at 181000km,,

    all this time i am trying to solve this issue. went to 6 different garages. every time they replace something totally unrelated and the issue stays which cost me alot of money..

    the Issue is. 1st it was vibrating at 1.5k rpms and 2.5rpms, and 3.5rpms..

    last time i placed a flexible piece of pipe right after the catalytic converter which vanished 1.5k rpm vibrations..

    engine and transmisstion mounts did helped but too little..

     

    3.5k rpm vibrations i dont care because i never go beyond 2.5, 3.0k rpm as speed limits on highways.

    2.5k rpm = 100km/hour and 2.8k rpm = 120km/h

     

    2.5k rpm is the most being used where i get this vibrations with a kind of heavy booonnnn sound continiously.

     

    when i put hand on my car engine i feel its shaking.. yesterday compared to another grandis 2.4l same model. phhh. that was too still smooth..

    all puleys are being checked and are fine. only remaining thing is now inside the engine. for which i have an appointment to replace timing belt..

    just for a note. No error codes, no check engine or other light. tested at 2 places with different obd2 scanner tool. so seems what you mentioned that 180 degree rotation could be the issue..

     

    any more suggestions in the meanwhile..?

    Good Day. A million thanks. last week i replaced timing belts. and that balancer pully was indeed out of timing on the wrong side. I am shocked by the sillyness of those mechanics. i told him to check the timing of balancer pully. he just alligned the notch to the notch and said its fine. it was still giving those shakkings. then i went today again and told him what you did was wrong because balancer pully timing is not just notch to notch allignment but it must fall on its mark by itself. i was unable to convince him since he felt offended until i showed him a youtube video. and today. we did opened it again and i told him to turn it again and again until it falls smoothly by its marks. and violla.

    just drived a 50 kilometer at 90, 100, 110 and even 130. no more shakes. no buzzing. no ratteling. now it gives me a feeling that engine is sitting on the right place as i hear nothing anymore. before. pfff. i was thinking engine is placed inside the cabin right under my seat.  came here too late as alot of money in spend for no reason. atleast i am happy now that its fixed.

    Again. thanks alot.
