It's probably your front inner CV joints. I've seen 3 cars with them creating plenty of vibration during accelleration and decelleration. The easiest way to check them would be to lay down and grab ahold of your axle and try to wiggle it while your car is on the ground. If there is any movement one of the axle joints is definately in need of replacing. Hope that helps.
Any updates on this problem? I have a 2003 A4 Cabrio front trackCVT with the 1.8T engine having the same vibrations under acceleration at any given rpm.
I believe I have the same problem. It seems like the vibration is coming from the mid-rear of the car. I'm pretty sure it is from either the center bearing, universal joint, or the driveshaft end bearings. This site may be of interest to you:
I just purchased a 1999 A4 with 190000 miles on it. I googled a4 vibration which led me to this forum. I absolutely love the car! I also have a 1992 100 Quattro.
My allroad is in the shop as we speak for the same issue. 2001, 70,000 miles. Has just recently gotten worse. Vibrates now @ 60 to about 70 like the car has come apart. In town, at low speeds, no issue. Above the those speeds, a bit of a 2 second vib but not bad. Thought it was the tranny, but to no avail... Hope its a tire balance issue. But from the passenger compartment, it sounds and feels likes garbage. My ford diesel truck has a smoother ride than that!
Ok.... I don't know what happened but this is the second time this thread has restarted on this forum. I posted this last time but that was awhile ago. It is almost always (90%) the front inner CV joints. It almost always starts at about 90k -110k and it only happens at certain speeds and gets worse during acceleration.
If you are somewhat mechanically inclined this is a relatively simple procedure. Go online and buy some NEW not rebuilt but NEW front Axles. They should run you about $150 - $200 each. (Raxles are definately the best and they come with gloves and a new bolt for $200) The axles just slide in and out of the front diff. easily and it will take you about two hours to do both. Keep in mind that one side is slightly shorter than the other.
If you go to a shop it will cost about $400 - $500 a side and you need to get both done.
