I ask this question because in the 3 years and 35,000 miles I've owned the car my engine has started to vibrate more and more. When I bought the car it was very smooth, but over time it has slowly started to buzz throughout the rev range. It actually is most annoying in the way it resonates, creating a booming cabin noise at certain RPM.
I've done lots of work in the last 15,000 or so miles: timing belt, water pump, clutch, flywheel, throwout bearing, all four motor mounts, egr valve, mass air flow sensor, oxygen sensor, air filter and intake hose, pcv valve and grommit, spark plugs and wires, ignition coils...all with maintenance in mind but hoping one of these will get rid of the underlying vibration. Most have helped (and definitely improved gas mileage) but it still seems to be there.
My question is to see if it's even worth pursuing anymore or if this is just how the 2.0L becomes over time. Also, if anyone has recommendations for things I have yet to try I'm all ears.
