    FL1 TD4 power loss and smoke

    A few mm ? You should take firmly the propshaft before the uv joint and try to move it on the uv joint axis, it should not have any play, a small play can cause noise or rumble at low speed. For the VCU support you should move it up and down, left to right and check the rubber part for cracks.
