My car is a 1.8 litre VTEC engine , it makes vibrating sound when at low speed and it gets worse when Air Con is switched on, mainly on co-driver side.

I changed the timing belt a month a go and then this sound started, i took the car back for checking and still the vibrating sound is still there. it vibrates on the dashboard mainly on the co-driver side and gets worse when AC is on . The engine doesn't sound so great either. Kindly let me know what effect this may have on the car or i should not worry.

if you replaced the timing belt your shouldhave replaced all the components as well. you may have not timed it correctly and it kind of sounds like you need a new blet and tensioner for the a/c alternator as well.
