Hi all... My 58 reg TD4 auto has developed a strange vibration...

In a straight line (50 or 60 mph) and up an incline I can feel a strange shudder through the floor and maybe front N/S, It stops as soon as you lift off the throttle...

Yes I read the recent post "Like driving on Corrugated surface" and £4k to fix it!!...

Has anyone else had this and found what really was the cause?

Thanks for your inputs........

Earlier in 2018 My car started to have vibration noise/effect and from the day I noticed it became worst and I could hear the door windows vibrate within a few weeks.
I jacked it up and checked the wheel bearings, nothing really noticeable, the wheels spun ok no side play etc.
I took it for a free diagnostic on the wheel bearings and it was reported slight noise on passenger side bearing.
I decided to change both bearings (pics in my gallery) the bearings were absolutely shot.
After it was done and 4 wheel alignment car was back to normal.

My car had done 160k+ I also took the opportunity to replace the wish bones and track rod ends at same time.

Joe Fix it until it's broke !

It might be an idea to check the 2 bearings on the propshaft. They are not user friendly and able to be changed like the FL 1 though. 09 FL2 GS TD4e Current
16 DS HSE Black Current
13 FL2 GS TD4
11 FL2 GS TD4
10 FL2 XS TD4
56 FL1 TD4
72 S3, 6cyl 109 Truck Cab

There are a few of us with this issue at the moment!
I have some vertical play in the n/s driveshaft where it enters the gearbox which I'm looking to change first but one of the other guys is changing his at the weekend so I will await his results!

Have a read through this thread if you haven't already seen it...
