My golf (pics) .. and some queries.

Right then, regarding the possible engine mount problem...

I have been to the car and checked if there is any movement in the engine when pushing by hand , trying to rock it etc.. there doesnt seem to be any sign of a mount perishing or movement ... any other possibilities...

Car is going to Awesome next week anyway ...

not sure could be the gear box mount thats had it but normally if you can feel the lump move on pulling away or changing gear its that front mount, maybe its something else completely differnt gearbox or clutch if its going in for a service see if they can find anything.

Stand in front of your car with the bonnet up, get someone to sit in drivers seat with hand brake on and then bring up clutch as if pulling away. If the engine tries to jump into your arms theres a broken mount, usually the front, the mounts are pretty easy and cheap to replace.

Do what elnigel said. You wont be able to test the mount by hand.

If it is rocking backward and forward then it will be the front mount. The gearbox mount is usually too solid to move. Once you have done as above, see if you can get a g60 mount or maybe even go a little more expensive and get a vibratechnics one or something similar. You will notice the difference

I got a vibra technics one and want it stiffer (oooo er missus)  so am going for a solid mount.

Car is in garage at the mo, having MOT too ... once i get it back , ill know what is up and then act accordingly. Wandered over to CGTi and someone does solid mounts for £45 ... so if it needs, i shall be getting from them.

No doubt i will post up what is wrong later , along with a number of questions ...
