    Changed all the engine mounts and it is as quiet as new! Symptoms sounded like a split exhaust it was so loud. We suspect the rear engine mount may have been faulty for years.
    Anyway good advice mounts were ~ $500 and $200 to fit (it needs a hoist) All up great job ..............Many Thanks.

      Hi Bob...
      Doesn't that feel so much better. It just tightens the car up real nice. (like new). The hoist is just the prime bit of kit for this job.
      Well done to you sir.
      Take care.

      You are either rich or...I'm not gonna say what, to pay $500 for a car worth as much.

    Wow, thats alot of engine flex. I think my recent cheap car purchase (1998 t4) has the same problem. When accelerating suddenly after engine braking it "thumps" or feels like something heavy jerks around. I hope those mounts arent hard to change :)

      Thanks for pointing that out. Yes a lot of flex . Changing the bushes changed all of that. Big difference . Try... Engine Mount Cross Member Front & Rear Torque Bushes Replacement for an insight into my method on replacing them :)

    I have a constant vibration under the accelerator during driving on highway. that could be engine mounts issue?

      Hello Alaa, It could be engine mount, or it could be a driveshaft problem. Driveshafts will often give a clunk sound as well. You can put the car into full lock right and then full lock left in a slow, controlled manner. Any noise may indicate a driveshaft problem. But before you do that, just check the inside rim of the wheel on that side. Look for a clear patch on the rim, as it could be that the wheel may be out of balance before digging deeper. A clear patch may indicate that a balance weight has come away.which would be an easy fix. Try swapping the wheels over first. (apology for not getting back sooner, as health issues have messed me up some ).

    I saw some thick bit liquid on the engine mout the one thats under the coolant reservoir of my t5. Can you tell me if this is a problem ?

      Hi Johnny, a picture would help towards diagnosis... Leaks of any kind will soon turn into bigger problems . So its always good to check the car over once a week... What does the liquid look like? (color). What does it feel like? Rubbing it between your thumb and forfinger will give you a feeling of the viscosity of the liquid. (latex gloves)...
