I only get it in first and reverse, or perhaps I don't notice it at speed. It's a 2010 Avant 2.0 tdi. I thought it might be the snub mount. The car has covered 200000 miles. Whaddya think? Which if the mounts is likely to fail at that mileage?

 

Manual or auto?

Hi its most likely the engine mounts and gearbox mount.

Steve.

Thanks Steve. I am an amateur mechanic - I can do brakes, rebuild carbs, suspension bushes and stuff like that - I have trolley jack and axle stands, reckon those jobs are beyond me?

Hi probably not, you will need a good set of axle stands and some sturdy blocks of wood to support the engine as you lift it enough to remove the old front mounts, there are a couple of good tutorials on YouTube.

Thanks Steve. I just fixed my blower motor so brimming with confidence!! Will give this a go during the week. Thanks again!
