Hi all

 

Had a bit of a problem tonight went over a bump in the road, car cutout and did not start, so had a look under the hood to see the wires hanging of my coil pack so put them back on cars starts ok

 

any way i had a bit of a clunk noise when i pull away for about a week but now when i go over 3k rpm then engine clunks(quite loud) and feels like it is moving the has derv engine mounts would this be the cause

 

car is a G60

 

any help cheers

 

Rob

Definitely sounds like the mounts, gearbox mount if 'clunking' when releasing clutch forward, front mount if 'clunking' when pulling away in reverse. Rear should have good longevity but may be worth tightening all bolts up first if they're relatively new.

Hope it helps mate

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I can feel my engine drop or move when I pull off.

 

I've had a new Febi rear mount, but it didnt cure the problem. The car has also recently (5k miles ago) had a new front sub frame and mount.

 

So should I be questioning the quality of the front mount?

 

G60 btw

Check the gearbox mount. You can also use the mkII diesel mount which is stiffer than the hydraulic filled standard item.

it was the front engine mount so got to send it to G-werks to be repaired
