welcome, sorry to hear about your issues. If you could elaborate on the "Shaking" problem, like which speeds, while turning, etc. Cold be so many things from front end to Transfer case, to transmission, etc.
Purge valve is a shut off device in case of wreck to kill fuel to engine. Thats NOT your problem
 






A purge valve vents the gas tank. Could be leaking vacuum.
Most are under the hood.

Would be way better to have codes read as anything's a guess. AutoZone parts store may do this free for you. Just don't let em sell you a part that is not visually damaged, without posting back in here for the experts

The turbo system does use a waste gate valve, possibly vacuum operated.

I can't believe a dealer turned you away.
 






I apologize Dva36, I have my valves mixed up. Turdle been around longer than me, He has great knowledge of these t

Not really. I'm dealing with a purge valve issue on another vehicle.

keep the ideas coming.

Good luck and please report back.

Thank you. I really hope someone with the same vehicle as me can help me or an honest grease monkey

Driving normaly it would shave the front, where the motor goes like being in a bumpy road up and down, to it to a shop and they replaced the motor mounts and turbo, since it went bad later on this issue. That did not made any diferance, mechanics would test drive it and could never find the problem.

Did the links I posted not help?
 






I don't think that purge valve would cause the vehicle to shake.

To keep things simple, the first step is to purchase an OBD2 reader if you don't already have one. A decent BT dongle is about $100 well spent. From there you can download Forscan or Torque apps to your smart phone and read codes (ForScan will provide more data).

Depending on what codes you find will determine the proper troubleshooting path. These engines are very complex but easy to work on if you have the right tools.

I suspect if there are no codes it may be the harmonic balancer or driveshaft issue
 






welcome to EF!

Yes, and the scanner showed a leak, cant temember the name this minute. But i will update and also record where parts are for others with similar issue.
