As the title warrants, my car has a bit of a vibration issue.
It's nothing to do with the suspension or wheels being off balance as it's persistent when we are sitting in one spot at an idle. It really only does it at lower rpm's but when I get up past 2000 it stops the vibrating. I'm not entirely sure if it's affecting power or not as it's done this for as long as I can remember since having the car. My brother (a diesel tech) seems to think it's the vibration dampener, and I've been bugging him to help me take a look at it for the longest time, as I don't quite have the know-how to do things of this caliber solo yet. But as family is, he's put me off. I've also attempted to get my dad (mechanic for his whole life) to help but, again as he is family, it's not an important thing at the moment. Hopefully if I can't get a very good idea of what it might be here one of them will finally help out but for now I'm resorting to the interweb to help me.
My dad thought it might be a valve or something to that extent possibly but I'm not sure. We have all the tools necessary to fix it I'm sure, I just need to know what it is and how to do it. Any help is appreciated.
