Changed 2 of my engine mounts and its still the same? Gearbox mount is fine so i guess the next step is to change the driveshaft on passenger side, Are all the driveshafts the same of the 1.8t apart from the ones with the 6 speed box?

And in regard to driveshaft fitment they are definitely not all the same I think there are 2 if the spline bolts are m8 then it's a 90mm inner joint if they are m10 then it's 100mm had issues with this fitting my new gearbox today had to Change the flanges in the diff

Got myself another driveshaft which I will be fitting this weekend. Fingers crossed it does the trick?

Changed my driveshaft and its still the same?  :sad:
So an update so far i have changed wheel bearings, ball joint , track rod end, engine mounts, driveshaft, i have also had 4 wheel laser tracking and 2 new front tyres ? Its not the alloys as i have 2 sets and its the same on both sets.
It feels like a wheel wobble or as if i have a egg shaped tyre on the n/s front and it is only there when i accelerate and if i dip the clutch it goes?
Any more suggestions as its costing me a small fortune and its still not right  :angry:
