Vibration at idle with foot on brake

Post by camp freddie » Wed Apr 13, 2016 10:40 pm

I have an intermittent vibration when I stop and am in drive with either my foot on the brake or the auto hold feature active. Take my foot off the brake and the vibration stops - clearly something is vibration but it's hard to locate - does anybody have any ideas or has anybody experienced similar?

Vacuum pump for the brake servo?

Hi

Recently got an 2010 X40d , its done 53k miles

love  it

Noticed when I pull up in stationary traffic with footbrake on I heard a low vibration type of noise. if I put the handbrake on it vanishes.

Also as soon as i release the footbrake it vanishes

Any ideas please?

It was the engine mounts on my car causing the noise. Bought replacement mounts from Leebmann 24 and had my local Sytner dealer fit them. Problem cured.
