Hi this is my first post! I have recently purchased a tdi galaxy and being a mechanic i like to look over my cars before i put my family in them! I really love this car but have found so many small problems but these seam to be really common so no big problem, I do have one problem that i cannot seam to fix? I have a vibration ffom the front end (drivers side) i have replaced the front wishbones drop links and drive shaft and the vibration has gone, But i now seam to have another vibration that comes at 15-20mph and only in 2nd gear when taking power, i,m not sure but i,m thinking intermediate shaft bearing or top strut mounts? Does anybody have any suggestions? /scott

Hi I recently had the same problem and yesterday i decided to remove the linkage and investigate, the o/s spindal was that seized that i had difficulty in removing it from the linkage, i did find buy putting a little wonder wheels cleaning acid around the spindal it dissolved the rust/calcium build up which allowed me to remove the spindal, after cleaning and regreasing the shafts and refitting it worked as new,
