Hi All
Does anybody know whether A4 1.8T Quattros are particularly hard on engine mounts? Mines done about 100k and seems to have a knock from somewhere on gear changes and on the overrun. It feels like an engine mount and seems to be accompanied by the gear stick jolting. What's a little odd is that it doesn't do it all the time, and never does it from cold. I've had the car on a ramp and there is no obvious play in any of the bushes or any of the mounts but there seems to be something wrong! Has anybody had any similar experiences or got any suggestions? Does it sound like engine mounts to you? Are they a common failure and, if so, any one in particular?
Cheers guys,
Simon
