Vibrating VW Passat

    Hi all, ive a vw passat 02 diesel and recently i got the clutch replaced on it and since i got it back there is a vibrating coming up through the engine and into the car, the thing is when i turn the steering wheel all the way to the right the vibrating is at its worse, if i wanted to talk to someone on the phone this way i would need to switch the car off cause its so loud, but then if i turn the steering wheel all the way to the left it completly stops, the more i go either way the better it get or the worse,
    Any ideas what the problem could be, i kept taking the car back to the mechanic cause he kept saying he went at it and its better now and obviously its not. i stopped taking it to him cause he proved useless and im sure he stopped looking at it, after awhile of dropping it up to him.

    Just a guess but it could be the suspension. Without hearing the noise it's hard to guess. It could be some sort of imbalance.

    The best clue is that noise disappears when steering full lock one way.

    Is noise there at any speed?
    Does it change with speed?

    Go to another mechanic for an opinion, let the original mech do the work though.

    Was the flywheel changed also?

    If so was a dual mass flywheel replaced with a solid flywheel?

    when I'm driving and accelerating the vibrations go, but if I take my foot off the accelerator it comes back again until I accelerate again, dual mass fly wheel was put in
