Thread: TD5 Engine mounts

You sound like you have the same symtoms as me..Mine was very rough at idle to the point it seemed as tho the car was idling to slow.The simple way to check is to get someone to sit in the car whilst it idles you get under the car with the jack under the sump and jack it up very slowly,you will only need to raise it 20mm and if the viabration stops then its the mounts.
Cheers Ean

I wanted to revive this thread. I have a definite vibration at 2300 rpm. Its gone 100 rpm either side of it. Is engine mounts the common consensus for the solution?

not in mine it didn't fix it. in fact, seems to have made it worse.
going back to changing the wiring harness again. and maybe the AFM

Well, I can gaurantee its not drive shaft / UJs. Just replaced that after my front UJ went from squeal, to disintegration in 20km.

Bent the shaft. New OEM fitted, vibration at 2300 still there.

Check your Pms

I had not noticed until reading this thread then going for a drive and holding the car between 2200-2300 rpm now I notice the rough feeling at those revs!
Oh well push on through to the higher revs

driving day to day thats what i do, and its not an issue.
however towing the caravan, at90 kph which is where the whole setup cruises the best, its right in the noisey spot
just did 5 hours 2 days ago, wife was working on her laptop so not radio allowed, just the sounds of the engine vibrating away to listen to on the trip.

To me this sounds like it is more of a problem in the auto's than the manuals. I have driven an auto one before that had an unbearable drone at 2200-2300rpm..hence another reason why I'm not a fan of auto d2's. Both my engine mounts need doing, but I only have a slight drone at 3500rpm, which does not worry me at all since I don't rev the engine that high anyway there's no need to.

Personally, I don't think changing the MAF will do anything, the harness maybe but that is more power related. I would look at the problem as gearbox related, especially if new mounts don't solve the issue.
