2002 Tdi Driveshafts

[dlt1617]

I've recently swopped my much loved 2.3 auto for a 2002 tdi which I so far love to bits.....Yes there's a but comiming...apart from a vibration about 15 mph when accelerating.

Much like me you are probably thinking common problem with the inner cv joint (so did I when a bought it) but both the driveshafts are new :)

Apon further investigation different parts of the inner cv joints stick out from the flange when comparing left to right flanges/joints

My question is fairly straight forward is it possible to position the cv joint wrongly on the flange? also if so which way is right?????

 

Best wishes

This sounds like the vibration I get at around 20mph when accelerating. It happens in 1st or 2nd (or is it 2nd or 3rd, I can't remember now!) and is therefore independant of engine speed. It feels as though it is coming from the passenger side.

 

I will be interested to found out what it is, if you find out.
