Hi

My wifes C3 (3 years old but only 12k miles) has developed a quite
severe shake/vibration, (Think badly out of balance wheel) at between
50 and 60 mph - But only under power - Hitting the clutch stops the
shakes instantly. The shake feels slightly lateral/side to side.

Dealer has re-balanced the wheels and spent '3 hours' inspecting
everything but can find nothing. He now suggests 'fetching the gearbox
out'...

Anyone got any thoughts on this one??

I imagine your clutch or dual mass flywheel has started to break up ...

12k miles is not long for either of these so I would suggest a component
quality issue is to blame - therefore kick up a fuss and expect the dealer
to fix it FOC - they should be able to recover the costs from head office
...

all the best
