strange noise and vibration

<< < (4/4)

Disco Matt:
I think it depends on when you get the noise. For example, mine seems to be at a very specific speed and throttle position (booting it up hills at 60-70mph) and it came in after I had new springs fitted (equating to a half inch lift compared to where it had sagged to). At other speeds and throttle settings it's fine, although I won't be taking it on anything longer than round town stuff until I get the new prop sorted out.

Regarding 300 TDI front props, what fits what? I've seen them listed for V8s, 200 TDI, all sorts - what's the difference? Are the 200 and 300 TDI front props the same part?

whits:
strange thing with the noise and vibration i had was it sounded and felt like wheel catching on arch etc.
however it only lasted about 1/2 second and i cant make it do it again so its hard to say what it is,

Disco Matt:
My Dad's Saab is doing a very similar thing at the moment - I suspect a dodgy suspension bush, but the clonk/rattle disappears if you have two people in the car (making it impossible to demonstrate the fault to someone who doesn't know what they're listening for!)  :lol:

I'm beginning to wonder if mine might be the rubber donut - 13 year old rubber is surely a more likely candidate to fail than regularly lubricated steel? I have bought a spare prop and GKN UJ for about £35 all in so I'll be refurbishing myself a spare either way.
