Hi all, I've looked through some threads but can't quite find the same thing. When accelerating gently to moderately I notice a side to side 'wobble' at around 40-50mph, around 1500-2000rpm. It then 'flattens out' if you know what I mean as you get beyond 50mph. My local specialist suspects driveshafts but has checked them visually and no obvious play or problems. They don't want to say it's definitely that in case I waste my money and it doesn't sort it. Anyone else had this? It's a 2017 204 4motion DSG with 80k miles, running H&R coilovers (-60mm) and on 245/45/20 rubber. Thanks
 
I've got the same thing in my 2017 5 speed 102. Side to side vibration when accelerating from 40-50 in 4th approx 2000rpm. Feels like it's coming from below and central. Had tracking done and wheels balanced but made no difference. Waiting to go in garage to diagnose. Can feel it slightly in other gears under load but not as noticeable
 
I had a similar issue with mine, went around the houses checking everything - was driveshafts and stub shaft in the end. You might have something different but my garage suggested it's quite common, unfortunately.

Judder through steering wheel

but it's got a pretty impressive service history Does the service history show a CV boot being replaced?

What was the approx’ milage when they failed?
 
Similar issues on my T6 150 DSG: It was the O/S inner CV joint. New shaft from J&R cured it, cost about £125 plus an afternoon's fitting in the driveway.
