Vibrating acceleration pedal

    So this is a strange one

    Bought myself a 07 Renault Megane. The car was like new when I bought it, new tyres, new everything from what iv been told.

    Iv been driving it for a few weeks now and my right foot is troubling me. You see the acceleration peddle for me is vibrating, I have bad feet anyway (to flat) and I really feel it after I get out of the car. Asked my father for a 2nd opinion and he drove it and didnt notice anything but I dont put much stock in that tbh.

    Any idea's what could cause this?

    Is that the way Meganes are?

    It happens sometimes with all kinds of cars, it's the linkage or cable from the engine allowing vibrations from engine to travel to the pedal.
    It's only in higher revs yeah, not when car is parked?

    What model is the 07 Megane?

    Would have thought the accelerator was electronic on those?

    Wonder if it needs a coil pack?

    Adjust your seat and see if the sensation disappears, it might be that your seating position is slightly restricting blood to your foot. I sometimes found a slight discomfort over long journeys when the seat is too high, which was eliminated by lowering the seat height.
