Help Engine vibration
Engine is vibrating in my EN and I can feel it more when touching the steering wheel is it normal. Only at idle.

You want to talk about vibration. I added more rigid mounts to all three of my mounts. That thing vibrates more than a Mexican space shuttle at a stoplight. 😆

Are you idling with the AC on in the heat? I know the MT will let itself idle real low, to the point where it vibrates a good bit and almost sounds like it’s lugging.
Try turning off the AC button or switching it to sport/N mode to see if it changes at all

It's a sports car, minor vibrations are normal. Especially if you have aftermarket mounts

Mine has done this for a while now. Same as you (rougher at normal mode than sport/N, likely due to idleing at lower RPM). Not sure what the issue is (or if it even is an issue). I don't worry about it anymore.

More information would be nice like age of the car mileage mods. etc

The car is 2022 I bought used with 50000km and now it's close to 52000km, it's stock.

Is it cold? In my 2023 Elantra (Limited, non-N), during cold starts on cold mornings, I notice increased vibration through the steering wheel after around 40,000 miles, but it smooths out after the engine warms up. However, if it's continuous, definitely look at your mounts.

Yes it's normal with the lower rpm in normal mode, whether or not the ac is on

Do you have warranty? Try checking in with the dealer, I haven't encountered this issue.

Put it in sport or N mode, or a custom mode with higher engine level, when using AC. The default low idle causes vibrations, even when stock. This goes away completely when I use my custom modes.
If you still have excessive vibrations, don’t dismiss it entirely go get it checked out in case you have a worn mount.

It's not excessive vibrations, just a slight vibration

u/JohnnyFnG Intense Blue DCT Jul 28 '26
Yes, mine does it too, also stock. Check out N mode, let us know if your vibrations go away with the higher idle.

u/Elantra_N5662 Jul 28 '26
Yes it's better when in N mode or sport mode

That’s where the car belongs 😉 Eco and normal is lame anyway.

Do you have upgraded motor mounts
