Bad vibrations
Discussion
I'm getting a pretty bad vibration through our B6 Passat TDI at roughly 2200 rpm, irrespective of road speed or gear.
Is this likely to be engine related, DMF, mounts etc? Is there any way check these? A visual of the mounts didn't show much apart from perhaps looking a little tired, it has done 115k so expected. Clutch seems fine, no slipping that I can detect.
Vibration is not felt through the steering wheel, so I've discounted wheels, drive shafts and prop (it's a 4motion).
NSL is proving a right pain in 6th, either have to go higher or lower.
I have posed this in the VW forum a couple of days ago but no response, so hope this is ok.
Thanks.

Finally managed to get under the car and fit four decent sized jubilee clips round the flexible coupling. Was a bit of sod due to the prop shaft.
And after that, no improvement whatsoever. Have confirmed it looks like the engine mounts are ok though.
Can't think of anything else except for the dmf / clutch now, a dammed sight more expensive than the clips. Bugger.
