sorry guys bad times I've got a 90 300tdi on an n reg with a brand new cambelt and pulleys on it so I dont think its belts I've also put a new aux drive belt and tensioner on too. it when I drive along under acceleration at slow speeds I thought maybe a bracket or engine mount are loose or rubbing but just need some tips from the experts....

surely you should have done all 4?

whata bastid it would be if the 4th one went soon and you had to take the prop of again to do one uj.

i hate removing the prop shafts! really fiddly job with spanners. no fun. should buy the proper tool really!

i replace the uj's every 6 months or so or whenever i smash them.
