Balancer Cause Vibrations?
To those of you that have had the bad balancer...did it cause a vibration in the engine that you could feel at a specific rpm?

No. When mine went bad, it just wobbled enough to throw the belt at high RPM. No engine shake for me.

Mine self destructed and tore the ring off the hub but didn't vibrate even after that happened.

my vibration is in an A4 a random occurrence usually at a stop.
My car will feel like i suddenly have a large cam in it.
I have produced it while rolling with light pedal throttle while costing down to lower rpm/speed.
it of course stops when i take it out of OD at the light.

I have a 98 A4 and I've had a similar issue while at a stop. I also just had the belt get thrown the other night. I think I better go investigate my harmonic balancer.
