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?

Dogmount was fine, Took it off and checked and it was all nice and tight

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:
