Rear diff wrecked after local mech left unconnected some elec connections. [reader had shown no ground]

Anyway but the bullet and paid for new [yep 6k] Had spent two weeks searching, best builder in uk said if its in need of parts theres no way he could rebuild as thye dont release gears etc etc] Plus fidning a good used one is a lotto thing, then the programming etc]

Had spent maybe 5k over past couple yrs [inlet manifold, full suspension, disks, exhaust, rad etc etc] has intend to keep as long as poss [its a 2014 tour de france edition]

Anyway. Got it back, done maybe 200 miles. Have a torque shudder, along with associated hum [as we know torque decreases as rpm increase] from maybe 1700 to 2200 rpm, has the feel of unbalanced prop shaft [from older vehicles in my past, we all know about marking prop and diff flange before disassemble]

This is in all gears, mention this as its not speed related [wheel balancing

Thoughts....apart from obvious observations on spending silly money at a Skoda dealer

Tks

Do you have a photo of the sticker when it is still visible, or can you take a photo of the engraved serial number?

Yes.....a few.....these two keep within the 10mb limit.

I include the box as when I put diagnostics on it [before it was changed] it came with a code for no ground.
