Hi all. This is for a gas VW inline engine but I know the diesel uses a very similar part. The intermediate shaft has a somewhat rough OD. A helpful VW person suggested that machining this shaft smooth would help reduce engine vibrations. I realize this might be moot on a diesel engine, but have any diesel folks machined this part? Or, do you think there's any merit to doing this?
