The van is new to me, so just wanted to check if a mild vibration in the cabin at idle is normal, or if it should be completely smooth, before I go looking for a problem that isn't there. Idle is stable, no warning lights, no fault codes in VCDS. 2016 with 58k miles, so my initial thoughts are seized OAP, but I don't want to get my hands dirty if I don't have to :)
 
the 204 engine has a balance shaft to help it run smooth.

DMF is balanced,

how bad is the vibration?

can you get a vid clip on your phone? - and post a link to it here?

film a half full glass of water?

Fwiw.....

I done a quick test myself.

And the water in the glass was dead still.
 
Some pics from a quick vid....

Thanks. Think I might be worrying about nothing, as the vibration went away after the engine warmed up. Still not sure I'm totally happy with the noise coming from the belt though: Streamable
