Front end vibrations and gear stick shake
First off sorry for the long post but am desperate for help!!! Recently had a problem with my 2008 2.0 tdi where we lost drive all of a sudden, after much confusion with garage they finally found out it was the drivers side driveshaft, happy days I thought so it was replaced and on initial drive everything seemed to be fine however straight away I noticed when on full lock turning right at slow speed there was a juddering, then I noticed mainly in second and third gear between 1500 and 2000 rpm the gear stick was shaking quite badly and also when accelerating throughout the gears the front end seemed to have a general feeling of vibrating. So take back to garage and after lots of head scratching they check engine mounts, gearbox mounts etc and finally shrug there shoulders and say they don't know, have since taken to another garage who tried replacing the passenger side driveshaft as well but made no difference, they are now saying that the drivers side driveshaft is very rigid and I wondered if there should be any play at all from left to right on the driveshaft or if there is any reason why I would get all these problems from changing a driveshaft, it changes gear perfectly and and the clutch feels fine, to be honest I'm exhausted by it all and am frustrated that several so called mechanics can't find a solution, any help or pointers would be massively appreciated.👍🏻
