It's a 97 mk3 1.7TD. The old doll has developed a violent judder felt through the drive shafts but only within the 1300rpm range with foot off throttle. It does it in all gears whether I'm coasting along or going downhill using the gears to slow down, as soon as the rpm needle hits around
1300 the shakes will start - let it drop further or touch the throttle and the judder goes. With the front end off the ground there is no play whatsoever in the road wheels. There was a slight knock from the o/s wishbone bush but I've just replaced that and it's cured the knock but the judder is still there. I can go lock to lock without any unusual noises from the shafts and there doesn't seem to be any play when changing gear or blipping the throttle. Any thoughts welcome?- posted
