I very occasionally get quite a loud crack when pulling away uphill. Thought it would be the usual top mount so I had it all apart today but couldn't get the bastad rubber off to check Took a quick video as the mount seemed to be a bit on the soft side. here Is this anything excessive? Didn't really require much force really. Had a lot of fun trying to the arm back on as well. Required a lot of levering and moving the engine round. |

That looks fine to meIf it were broken in the chassis leg the while thing would move rather than just the top Try taking a video of it revving up, mine on the rallye was knackered and at a rolling road day it looked like the engine was going to drop out! ________________________________________ Cherry rallye - DOB Thursday 29/04/1999Team Rallye - the leaner, meaner, better looking sister of the GTI6  roland rat wrote: You sir either live for the 6 or have a mental retardation to still be repairing this! The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fecking temperamental. |

Thanks, yeah that's what I thought about only the thread moving. I did notice even on idle there was quite a lot of movement in the lower engine mount, another job for another weekend... |

My engine mount had cracked the bottom of my cradle and you couldn't tell until the engine mount was removed. Chances are it could be broken.Even though mine was broken there was very little visible movement. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |
