ack-ack Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 It feels a bit lumpy when I ease off the gas and reapply it. I am assuming its mounts. Anybody changed a set before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yes, but not on an Audi. Took me and a mate a whole day to change both engine mounts and gearbox mount on an MGB Roadster. Never again... What in theory should be quite straightforward to jack under sump (brace with wood across width of sump pan) and switch out the mounts invariably seemed to find any and all reasons not to be so easy - rusted bolts that had to be removed with a chisel, various components requiring removal to give clearance to swap the mounts themselves, finding innovative ways to access the uppermost gearbox mounting nuts which have almost zero clearance against the transmission tunnel. Add to this all the usual skinned knuckles and rust in your eyes from working underneath the car - what's not to like?? If you decide to DIY then best of luck.

oliver90owner Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 If you are lucky it will only be a bad bushing in the bulkhead mount. Fairly straight forward if it is, I would think, but never done one of those myself. Pogo 607 was the last one of ours that needed that particular mount and was an easy fix. Good luck.

Paddy Galore! Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I had something similar on ours, turned out to be wishbone bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
