Facing problems on your automobile is particularly frustrating, furthermore the economic aspect that these problems signify, one must also add the time lost with a non-functional Opel Meriva and the time spent to detect and fix the breakdown. However, some problems are less serious than others, which is not to say that they do not stress us. In this article we are going to look at a issue that can affect everyone, having vibrations at acceleration on Opel Meriva. This issue can often be hard to perceive but it must be looked after. We will therefore begin our article with the roots of these vibrations on Opel Meriva, then, with the answers you have to reduce or stop these tremors.

Why does my Opel Meriva make vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s begin our article with the roots of this type 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 generate this kind of discomfort, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Opel Meriva only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this article. The simple fact that you experience trembling on your Opel Meriva during your acceleration phases, in this situation you will have to check the condition of some components because a good number of elements can be at the source of these vibrations and even if you are unlucky a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of auto parts that can be involved.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Opel Meriva is defective, it may generate vibrations that you will come to feel when you accelerate at the moment it is turned on.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may bother the performance of your turbo and develop vibrations that you may feel at the time of acceleration of your Opel Meriva.

    • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or ruined, the result will be the same, the power supply of your turbo will be disturbed and its performance too. Make sure you visually examine their condition.

I’m experiencing vibrations on my Opel Meriva at acceleration and deceleration

We will now look into the scenario where you feel vibrations on your Opel Meriva when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only feel vibrations when you are idling on your Opel Meriva, please seek advice from our article dedicated to this issue to get rid of your problem. If, alternatively, you notice that your Opel Meriva vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of elements to examine:

  • EGR valve: In truth this valve which handles the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and bother the evacuation of exhaust gases which can generate Opel Meriva vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating 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 correctly, 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 bother the performance of your Opel Meriva, up to the point of causing vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the most important causes of a Opel Meriva that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Opel Meriva? What can I do?

Finally, in this last section, we will give you the solutions available to you to overcome these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt dependent on the component that is affected:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Opel Meriva, it will be good for you to control all the auto parts linked to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and typically the issue does not come directly from the turbo. So remember to take a look at your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Opel Meriva to your garage.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is often easy to access and easy to disassemble/clean. You can always examine it and clean it, for this see our article on cleaning the EGR valve of an Opel Meriva.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very delicate auto 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 specialist.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, just change it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will basically 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 Opel Meriva. If you don’t feel able to accomplish certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your auto mechanic.
