hiya guys
on my 2.4t i sometimes get a heavy juddering from the front axle area.. its like the power is stuttering and the front of the car shakes a bit. Also, with the passenger window wound down I can hear a rortaional metal scraping sound which is quite loud.
The problem is intermittent, sometimes its not there and also sometimes when im driving it just goes away like a switch has been clicked. Its more at low speed as well. Once on a dual carriageway or at higher revs it goes away. And finally, if parked, in neutral, its still there so that probably rules the gearbox out.
I would appreciate any pointers/advice on this ? My first thought was misfire but i am getting noises from the axle and it also seems to be getting worse or more common. Note that itys nothing to do with the brakes or braking.
regards
