Vibration when accelerating.

My 200tdi 110 has developed a bad vibration. But I'm at a loss what can be causing it as it is related to both speed and RPM, and engine load. It can be felt worst when accelerating up hill from 40-50 mph in 4th gear but as soon as I change to 5th it stops. It does'nt happen at all in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Neither does it happen if i rev the engine in neutral. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

wot shape would they be?

Get hold of your propshafts at the uj end, give em a good shake and if theres some play thats your problem

More worrying would be the bearing for 4th gear in the box................ (i suggest you eliminate the other options first, and then unfortunately what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth..................................

have the same problem with my 90 h reg
remember its 20 years old, its not going to be quiet! all that noise is play in the halfshafts through time, nothing to be afraid of though. just keep clutch master, transmission and diff oil reg checked and or replaced and she'll be runnin sweet
