hi, i have a golf iv 150 pd engine, and i have noteced that mainle in 5º and 6º gear betwen 1500rpm and 2000rpm the engine vibrates a lot!
i know its not normal, because the car as 40 000km, and only for the past 2000km it makes that?

what do you think it is?

the car is 100% stock.

Well, not being able to experiance your car, I can only just guess.

But I would suspect that it might be the clutch slipping. If you have a dual mass flywheel like the 90 HP cars have, it could be the problem. Before I replaced mine, I noticed that when flooring the 'loud button', there would be a loud noise, which sounded like the exhaust hitting the underside of the car. After a while, this turned into clutch slip in 4th and 5th. I know you have the 150 HP engine, but I don't know how much different the flywheel is.. so it might be good to look into this aspect of it.

Drive ON!
