Mahindra Thar Diesel - Vibrations in the cabin

airguitar · 16th July 2022, 08:56

Here are a couple of observations on my Manual Diesel HT Thar. There is a decent amount of vibration filtering into the cabin, gear shaft and dash. If I step out and press the bonnet gently from outside I can see a lot of vibrations passing on to my hand as well as noise getting louder. I figured that the engine cover was not placed properly and putting / rearranging it better reduced the vibrations on the bonnet. However, I still feel that the vibration amount in the cabin is not acceptable, especially after I compared with a Diesel Automatic convertible thar that has a more melodious engine hum and absolutely no vibrations passing onto the cabin. What things could I have checked at the ASS?

I have a Thar Diesel AT Hardtop. I also feel a bit more vibration inside the cabin or around the Bonnet or front bumper region. Specially when doing a cold start. Vibrations do smoothen out once the engine reaches operating temperatures though.

But sometimes, I do feel a slightly different type of irregular vibration even after driving the car for 30 mins or so.
Non-reproducible so don't expect the Service center guys to do anything.

Yes, inconsistent vibrations. Looks like over the ownership of the car, I'll become a technical expert on car matters resolving the niggles

As you live with a body-on-frame Mahindra Jeep, you will realise that vibrations, squeaks & rattles are part of the standard equipment list

. And they'll only increase with time. Make your peace with them.

That being said, the new Thar is impressively refined for a 4x4 Jeep. You should drive the 1st-gen Thar or the MM550s to truly appreciate what the Thar offers.
