Default Cayenne Diesel S, vibration at 1500 - 1800 RPM

Hi Guys

I recently bought a 2014 Cayenne Diesel S with 110 000kms on the clock.
Fantastic car with no vibration at idle, but there is a very frustrating vibration between 1500 and 1800rpm under light acceleration, if I let go of the throttle or accelerate harder its gone immediately.
I can feel it through the whole car, my seat, the pedals and the steering wheel.
It drive me crazy typically when going uphill at 120 - 130km/h.

I will appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Not pertaining to Cayenne's directly but, I know a couple of people with BMW diesels in europe that have had similar vibrations (light load at highway speeds) and I believe they tracked it down to a bad guibo joint (flex disc) on the driveshaft. Might give that a look.

Hey!

I've been facing the same issue did you resolve your issue by flex disc repair

I took it to our local agents, they told me its normal, they had two other Cayenne S Diesels there and we drove both and they were the same.

Just realized this is an S. Not sure most of us have experience with the V8 diesel.
