Hi! I have a problem. When I start the car with a cold engine, a vibration occurs that can be felt on the steering wheel and the body itself. It goes away after several minutes once the engine heats up. This symptom occurs after washing car at home
Check your engine & transmission mounts. Odds are the rubber is worn out & not properly damping the vibrations when it’s still cold. Once the car gets up to temperature, it becomes pliable once again & functions normally.
Any code?
Check the MAF sensor. Did you hose down the engine bay?
I hose below the engine bay not the engine bay itself. I also noticed that the temperature gauge heats up faster than usual
You may have some water on sensors or electrical connections. Use WD-40 and spray all the electrical connections and the sensors. If you have a scan tool with live data, get some data and post here. If not, clean the MAF sensor, throttle body. It is a good idea to check the icv as well. Regarding the temperature gauche, do not worry about it as long as your engine does not overheat or stay cold.
The vibration only occurs on cold start and it goes away after 5 minutes. The vibration is not intense and it can be felt in the steering wheel and below the driver seat
