My Pug 306 dturbo vibrates badly on acceleration at roughly 50mph in 4th and 60mph in fifth. Could it be the driveshafts and if so which joint? Any other ideas?
All help gratefully received as I dont want to buy the wrong bit unnecessarily
thanks

Had the same problem with my Megane. Vibration would come in at around 50mph in 4th gear as you accelerate. If you take your foot off the accelerator the vibration would then stop. This was due to the driveshaft (inner joint usually causes this problem). The whole driveshaft assembly (offside in my case) was replaced and the vibration has stopped. The driveshaft assembly comes as one complete unit which includes the inner and outer joint. The cost was about �60 parts and one hours labour at �30.

After the replacement the car runs smoother at all speeds. I think that the 50mph marker is just the point where it becomes much more noticable.

If a wheel was buckled it wouldn't just happen on accelerating but be noticable when just coasting as well.

Hope this helps.
