Hi all,
May I describe my problems and where I am at.
Serious vibration from 1500rpm-2500rpm (40mph-90mph)
Got new tyres, discs and pads all round, listen to past advise and did a glycol test which came back fine therefore nothing wrong there(had a Behr rad not a Valeo), checked prop shaft and changed center bearing as there was excessive play there. Checked also prop bushes either end and they are fine.
Still the problem persists. Have been told by one Merc dealer (been to 3) that my problem is the torque convertor. I am not a mechanic but surely what lead him to this theory, as I know he in the time given could not have gone in to actually find out, was a possible glycol contamination. And Mercs then quoted me 1000quid part only and probably 4-5 hours labour.
I am thinking if the Glycol test came back fine is this still a possibilty? This was before i did the glycol test. Am I being conned, even though research shows me i can get a torque convertor for 300 quid.
My mechanic now thinks it may be the drive shaft.
Me I am confused to the max and now a bit disheartened towards the whole matter and Mercs themselves.
Anything? Anyone? Please
