Re: Juddering pulling away?

Try changing LSD oil with Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W 140, total cure for mine with same problem (judder under acceleration on corners only when hot after long drive ) Had unsuccessfully tried other synthetic diff oils.

Re: rear diff oil

Try this: Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75w-140.
It completely stopped the hot diff roundabout exit judder and is the only oil that works in my bongo.

JUDDER WHEN PULLING AWAY

You probably have a limited slip diff (yellow label on casing). Try changing the diff oil - GL 6 required - available on ebay (Lucas oils 75/90 SYNTHETIC gear oil ,audi bmw alfa kia).It stopped the judder on mine after exhibiting the same symptoms as yours. It is not the auto box.
