Citroen dispatch vibrations

[Johnycash]

He guys hope someone can help. I have an 10 plate dispatch . Drives 100% but when gathering speed especially in 3rd gear the van shudders as if it is seriously unbalanced on wheels. The past 6 months I've put on 4 new wheels and tyres 2 cv joints 2 ball joints/ wishbone 2 link arms anti roll bar bushings all engine mounts including the upper right torque one . And problem is still there . Any one ever experience same problem or have an idea what it could be
Cheers john

Hi John,

I rather suspect that I won't be able to be of much help however I have a similar problem with a model that shares the underpinnings of your Dispatch - a C8. My shudder was especially pronounced in 3rd gear accellerating uphill from around 30mph. However, I fear this is where our similarities end. Mine has an Aisin 6 speed auto and I guess your Dispatch is manual ?

Changing the auto fluid improved mine for a while however it has returned, although not in the same circumstances. I suspet it is still related to the autobox but, to rule out anything else, I have had new tyres and balanced them, I have fited new wishbones and drop links and I have a new lower right hand torque mount (that I suspect will be different on the Dispatch ?) to fit. As this requires removal of the driveshaft I have two new driveshafts and (because it is easier !) today I fitted the new left hand one. I have dismantled the old one and can see no undue signs of wear however I feel that it just might have made a slight improvement - although maybe that's just psychosomatic !

When I fit the lower torque mount (which exhibits quite a bit of movement when levered) and right hand drive shaft, I'll report back if there's any improvement in case this could be of any help to you.

Cheers

Julian

I can never understand why people ask questions on here but then don’t come back to see if there are any answers

A week after having been asked, this question had sunk to page two so was even more unlikely to get any more answers.

It can be the case that they do return but don't let us know whether or not the solution offered worked. However as the OP joined at 3:30pm, posted at 3:43pm and hasn't been back since, that's unlikely.

It's also possible that the OP posted on more than one forum and found the answer elsewhere and had no need to come back here. Barring politeness, of course.
