Hi All,

Having recently replaced my old GLX Tdi (2000) with a 2005 1.9 Tdi PD Elegance (55 Reg) with about 63K on the odo, I am experiencing this motorway speeds vibration. It comes in at speeds around 70 mph+ and than stays there annoyingly..

As the car comes with a 12months Skoda used car warranty, I took it to the local dealer who had a look and guessed that it was the dual mass flywheel. After some persuasion, it was replaced under warranty. However the problem has resurfaced and I'm going nuts now.. Wondering to get the wheel balancing done (I admit this should have been done first, but since the flywheel which is a known issue was getting changed, I thought rather...)

Also the tyres aren't the best around (Front - Maxxis, Rear - Falken, all 205/55 R16s)

The vibrations are felt through the vehicle body and disappear at lower speeds. Nothing is felt at lower speeds / rpms.

Anyone else around with similar issues? Any remedial suggestions?

If it's felt through steering wheel get fronts balanced, if it's felt through the front seats and rest of the car get the back ones balaced and report back.

yeh def sounds like its a balancing issue, i was washing my car the other week and some of the weights fell off in the process, as a result i now have the annoying vibration which starts at similar speeds, havent got round to sorting it yet lol

Suffering from the same problem - mine turned out to be a buckled alloy :'(

Look on the bright side, if simply balancing the wheels cures the fault you've had the dual mass flywheel fixed for free!

Thanks for the quick replies..

Just went round to tyre shop for the balancing, but the lad said it wouldn't help as the rear tyres looked out of shape..

The tyres have got a decent tread left still.. but will get the prices for 2 news. I have used Firestone before and have had a good experience.. Will search around to see how much they would make me lighter by!

The flywheel would have been done anyways as it is included in the warranty.

I would look at the more brighter side as I had a new clutch put in (parts paid by me) whilst the gearbox was out..

But I get your point..
