The business pieces of the Avo kit sit down on the right (passenger) side of the engine. I would start there and check for anything that looks out of order (Contact points and such).

Did you install yourself or have a shop do it for you? I wonder if something came a bit loose...

Judging by what's been posted I doubt OP installed himself no disrespect.

Anyhow I'd find a different more knowledgeable mechanic, one who's more familiar with car and turbos etc....

Also there's a lot to learn just by jacking car up safely on "good" Jack stands and looking and listening. Something may become obvious. Versus posting I'd be all over the engine doing just that like a spider monkey. Much faster results likely...

I have had this happen to me as well before a coil pack failure.

However it always went away on its own.

Not the door but more like where the shock was it was really weird. No idea on price. Dealer covered it.

Can you log the per cylinder misfire counts this will tell you if its a misfire and which cylinder it is. It could be ignition or fuel related misfire but a least you will see which cylinder or cylinders are acting up.

their is a threshold for misfire counts where it will throw a CEL but you might not be reaching that yet.

likely culprits are DI seal failure or coil failure

also some general logging of AFR ignition advance and cam VVT RPM monifold pressure ect would be usefull as it could be anything even a CAM actuator playing up.

Or its just something mechanically loose on the car

I know when a plug/coil doesn't fire, it can make the engine shake badly at idle.

That was rude.. Sorry.

Why haven't you been able to post a video of the wobble, pop, shaking noise or movement you're talking about? You thought the wheel was loose, or the door, but your entertaining a DI failure and have yet to scan the ECU for saved events. Why?

Your LG-D800 does record video.

I haven't had time to upload a video, unfortunately, I've been way to busy. I spend most of my time at my job and school. when I'm not working I devote my time to school. I'm planning on giving awd tuning a call. I'm starting to worry now
