On this page we are going to look into a issue that can happen to everyone, feeling vibrations at acceleration on Fiat Punto.

We will so commence our content page with the origins of these vibrations on Fiat Punto, then, with the solutions you have to reduce or stop these tremors.
Why does my Fiat Punto emit vibrations when accelerating?
So let’s commence our content page with the origins of this type of issue on your car. You should already know that an engine, especially if it is ancient or if it has been driven a lot, can naturally vibrate without being a issue behind it. Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can bring about this kind of discomfort, both at idle and when accelerating.
I feel vibrations on my Fiat Punto only when accelerating
Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this content page. The fact that you suffer trembling on your Fiat Punto during your acceleration phases, in this situation you will have to examine the condition of several components because various of elements can be at the beginning of these vibrations and regardless if you are unfortunate a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be involved.
- Turbo: If the turbo of your Fiat Punto is defective, it may bring about vibrations that you will suffer when you accelerate at the moment it is activated.
- The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may bother the behavior of your turbo and generate vibrations that you may feel within the acceleration of your Fiat Punto.
- If the turbo is punctured or injured, the end result will be similar, the power supply of your turbo will be troubled and its behavior too. Make sure to visually check their condition.

I’m feeling vibrations on my Fiat Punto at acceleration and deceleration
We will now focus on the scenario where you feel vibrations on your Fiat Punto when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only feel vibrations when you are idling on your Fiat Punto, please browse our content page dedicated to this issue to remedy your problem. If, however, you detect that your Fiat Punto vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of things to check:
- EGR valve: In actual fact this valve which handles the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disturb the evacuation of exhaust gases which can bring about Fiat Punto vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
- Injectors: Your injectors that control the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will bring out the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working properly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running correctly.
- Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is clogged it will not let the fuel pass correctly and therefore disturb the performance of your Fiat Punto, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.
Here are the most important causes of a Fiat Punto that vibrates at acceleration
What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Fiat Punto? What can I do?
To conclude, in this last part, we will give you the solutions available to you to cure these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt depending on the part that is concerned:
- Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Fiat Punto, it will be good for you to control all the parts connected to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and most of the time the issue does not come exclusively from the turbo. So remember to check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Fiat Punto to your mechanic.
- EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is generally easy to access and easy to take apart/clean. You can always look into it and clean it, for this see our content page on cleaning the EGR valve of an Fiat Punto.
- Injectors: Injectors are very fragile parts and a few impurities may be enough to disturb their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
- Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, only change it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will simply have to replace it with a new one.
Now you have all the information you need to discover the origin of the vibrations at acceleration on your Fiat Punto. If you don’t feel able to do certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your repair shop.
