Drving up the A1 yesterday at motorway speeds noticed significant vibration throught the steering wheel - pulled over at nearest service station to check wheel bolts - they were tight.
It is noticable at lower speeds but worsens beyond 50mph.
Bit like driving on a corrugated road!
This being the 1.2 TDI means in ECO mode I can lift off and clutch disengages - vibration remains the same throughout so not engine related.
The Drop links and the Antiroll bar bushes were changed by garage in Feb 2006.
Possibilities:
1. Worn Tyres?
2. Wheels need rebalancing?
3. Worn Shocks/Springs?
4. Driveshaft to Gearbox interface?
5. Warped Front Brake discs? - did change the pads recently after an inferior aftermarket set overheated in Yorkshire dales.
6. Worn steering rack bushes?
7. Wheel bearings?
Car has done 77k miles and still does over 85 mpg
