2005 Golf (BEW) 5 spd. manual 180k miles
Bought this back about 15k miles ago and it had always had a vibration at the 1800 and 3600 rpm engine speed. The plastic dash parts would buzz - and I learned to keep the engine out of these rpm ranges. Many on this forum had suggested replacing the solid axle (cheap replacement by previous owner) with a OEM style hollow one (larger diameter). I did this today and the vibration is gone. BTW... ID Parts sells OEM style axles..where I got mine - and they are kinda hard to come by.
