Dashboard vibration

[saskia Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close saskia]

I have this irritating vibration at low revs and high engine load coming from behind the radio on my Diesel 120 (Not D-4D :cry: ). If I lightly press forward on the dashboard it disappears. Any idea on where the dashboard mounting bolts are? Is it possible to get to them to tighten them?

Thanks

If you pull out the 2 painted vent panels either side of the stereo there should be visible bolts there to check. Check this linkfor pics.
That could solve your issue or the noise could be transferring from elsewhere.! Good luck.

Ah dash rattles! :lol

Could well be the dash but more likely to be wiring harnesses jumping up and down, plastic trim or a myriad of things. I used to fix rattles at a Toyota dealer and sometimes it can vary between minutes and days to find them

Its all about a process of elimination, pull the front surrounds off on either side of the radio and get someone else to drive while you have a good look inside the dash. Bits of squishy foam pushed into places and wrapped around harnesses are great for isolating the problem.

Best of luck- they can be a real bugger to find!! :evil:
