Well guys while returning from Birmingham last night, the front end vibration raised it's ugly head again! Nothing on the way up from Wales, just on the return this time. It starts at around 65-75mph & it increases in intensity whilst navigating right hand bends in the road. :wtf:
I took it into my local reputable garage last month for the same thing & they couldn't find fault with the car.
I'm no mechanic but I'm quite handy with the spanners after years of riding & driving.
On the nearside front axle the inner CV joint has a few mm up & down play & rattles when I shake it, is this normal?? I don't think so myself. I'll try & include a clip of video I shot.

Whilst under the car I noticed a little seeping of oil on the pipe coming down from the turbo, is this acceptable? My motor is a 2007 8P A3 BKD 140bhp.
 
First thing to do is to take it back to your "local reputable garage" and point out the play and ask them.
