200tdi noise

[gnasha]

my mate just got himsef a 200tdi but its making a viberating noise at about 2300rpm and stops at about 3000rpm sounds like its comming from the passenger side floor tried holding exhaust when doing it but makes no diff and he said the exhaust is not touching anything any idiea's anyone?

[J.D.]

Is it when revved staionary or when it is driven? If its when driven it could be the propshaft UJ's or a wheel bearing.

[andyb]

UJ and wheel bearings are usually road speed related vibrations not engine speed.

Good question about stationary or driven.

if its doing it when stationary try the back plate for the breakes   as mine got bent a bit offroading and ratteld but if only  when moving  try as the others sugest
