Hello Everyone

Second time posting these issues that I am having with this car and I got no answer. I would appreciate if somebody that had these issues would respond. Kinda stumped
on these issues. Thanks for looking at my post.

I am currently having an engine vibration problem with our 2015 Cruze LT 1.4 82k plus miles. I can feel it through the steering wheel. First, let me explain what I have done
to the car attempting to fix it. I will explain that problem and another. Not sure they are related. Late into the summer the AC just stopped blowing cold air and then it started
working again a couple of weeks afterward and worked for a few months fine. Then stopped working and I haven't worried about it too much since it is winter. Now back to
the vibration that I feel at idle. List of parts I changed to remedy the issue. New AcDelco sparks, new Delphi coil pack with new boots, and new gm valve cover due to leaking
oil. I did change the purge valve solenoid around 60k because it was very noisy. Oil is changed at 3k every time with full synthetic GM-approved oil. I do feel the vibration if I
feel the engine with my hand. I did change the turbocharger oil line due to it leaking along with the coil pack today. No change in the vibration.

I read on here somebody was having a problem kinda like mine and it was the AC pump causing the vibration. I wonder if that could be the problem. It is time for a new ACDelco
serpentine belt and I will start the car with the belt off and see if the vibration goes away before I replace it. If anybody has any clues as to what could be the cause please chime
in on this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have an extended warranty until 125k but hate taking it to the dealer as I am afraid they will say they can't find the
problem. Then I will incur a charge for them looking at it. Also if any clues to the AC problem are great also. I did change the AC ambient ait temp sensor with it not solving the
problem. I am pretty sure it is full-on AC refrigerant. I tried adding some and it said it was fine according to the gauge on the Ac refrigerant refill can.

You need a high pressure ac gauge.

The low pressure can't tell you it's fine
You may have overcharged it.

The AC stopped working before I even touched it. The AC did work again weeks later for about a week and then hasn't since.

Without high pressure reading. You're playing blindly.

Best you can do is a static reading before starting the car.

Did you check the condition for any signs of damaged on the motor mount support?
For the AC, try to swap the AC clutch relay with similar part number in the fuse/relay box.
If still not working, remove the AC clutch relay and jumper the Terminal "30" to "87". This is to check if AC clutch will kick in...If it engaged, consider replacing the AC refrigerant sensor or the Evaporator Sensor (Air Cabin Sensor).
