Why does my Kia Xceed emit vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s commence our content with the sources of this type of trouble on your car. You should already know that an engine, specifically if it is old or if it has been driven quite a lot, can naturally vibrate without being a trouble behind it. Large diesel engines, specifically those with a lot of torque, can provoke this kind of feeling, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Kia Xceed only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this content. The fact that you feel trembling on your Kia Xceed during your acceleration periods, in this circumstance you will have to examine the state of some parts because several of elements can be at the origin of these vibrations and regardless if you are unfortunate a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of components that can be involved.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Kia Xceed is defective, it may provoke vibrations that you will suffer when you accelerate at the moment it is activated.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will manage the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disrupt the performance of your turbo and bring about vibrations that you may experience at the time of acceleration of your Kia Xceed.

    • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or injured, the result will be similar, the power supply of your turbo will be disturbed and its performance too. Be sure to visually examine their condition.

I’m feeling vibrations on my Kia Xceed at acceleration and deceleration

We will now focus on the situation where you experience vibrations on your Kia Xceed when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only experience vibrations when you are idling on your Kia Xceed, please browse our content focused on this trouble to fix your problem. If, however, you notice that your Kia Xceed vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of elements to examine:

  • EGR valve: In reality this valve which controls the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disturb the evacuation of exhaust gases which can provoke Kia Xceed vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that control the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will discharge 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 properly.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is blocked it will not let the fuel pass properly and therefore disturb the performance of your Kia Xceed, up to the point of producing vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the most important triggers of a Kia Xceed that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Kia Xceed? What can I do?

Finally, in this last part, we will tell you the answers available to you to overcome these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt according to the part that is affected:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Kia Xceed, it will be good for you to control all the components linked to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and typically the trouble does not come precisely from the turbo. So make sure you check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Kia Xceed to your garage.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is more often than not easy to access and easy to take apart/clean. You can always look into it and clean it, for this see our content on cleaning the EGR valve of an Kia Xceed.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very fragile components 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 specialist.
  • 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 only have to replace it with a new one.

Now you have all the info you need to find the origin of the vibrations at acceleration on your Kia Xceed. If you don’t feel able to execute certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your technician.
