However, some problems are less significant than others, which is not to say that they do not stress us. In this article we are going to look into a issue that can occur to everyone, perceiving vibrations at acceleration on Mercedes Actros. This issue can sometimes be hard to perceive but it must be taken care of. We will so start our content with the roots of these vibrations on Mercedes Actros, then, with the answers you have to reduce or stop these tremors.

Why does my Mercedes Actros produce vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s start our content with the roots of this kind of issue on your car. You should already know that an engine, specifically if it is ancient or if it has been driven a lot, can naturally vibrate without being a issue behind it. Large diesel engines, specifically those with a lot of torque, can cause this kind of discomfort, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Mercedes Actros only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this content. The simple fact that you feel trembling on your Mercedes Actros during your acceleration periods, in this scenario you will have to check the state of different parts because several of elements can be at the beginning of these vibrations and even if you are unfortunate a mix of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be concerned.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Mercedes Actros is defective, it may cause vibrations that you will feel 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 behavior of your turbo and deliver vibrations that you may experience during acceleration of your Mercedes Actros.
  • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or damaged, the result will be similar, the power supply of your turbo will be troubled and its behavior too. Remember to visually verify their state.

I’m experiencing vibrations on my Mercedes Actros at acceleration and deceleration

We will now concentrate on the scenario where you experience vibrations on your Mercedes Actros when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only experience vibrations when you are idling on your Mercedes Actros, please read our content focused upon this issue to get rid of your problem. If, however, you detect that your Mercedes Actros vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of things to verify:

  • EGR valve: Indeed this valve which handles the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and bother the evacuation of exhaust gases which can cause Mercedes Actros 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 effectively.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is clogged it will not let the fuel pass effectively and therefore bother the performance of your Mercedes Actros, up to the point of causing vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the main motives of a Mercedes Actros that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Mercedes Actros? What can I do?

Finally, in this last section, we will tell you the possibilities available to you to overcome these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt in accordance with the component that is involved:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Mercedes Actros, it will be good for you to control all the parts associated with it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and generally the issue does not come specifically from the turbo. So make sure check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Mercedes Actros to your garage area.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is often times easy to access and simple to disassemble/clean. You can always check out it and clean it, for this see our content on cleaning the EGR valve of an Mercedes Actros.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very delicate parts and a few harmful particles may be enough to bother their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a expert.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, simply 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 find the origin of the vibrations at acceleration on your Mercedes Actros. If you don’t feel able to accomplish certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your auto technician.
