Is this an Engine Mount issue?
I have a '98 V40 T4, when started from cold the steering wheel vibrates, so much so it's clearly visible, but when warm this goes away.
It also goes away when I reverse the car, the car is very very smooth in reverse, but once in first, it again feels like I'm in a tractor. Is this down to a worn engine mount? if so, which one is it most likely to be? |

Probably the top right hand mount, a common failure on the phase 1 T4.
If you come off the clutch too fast do you get a knock from the same area? Old vs new:

Thanks for the reply Baffler.
No knock, only symptom is the bad vibration until the car is warm. I was looking at those mounts, seem to be around the £100 mark - is that right? |

If the mount is starting to wear the knock will eventually develop. If you have someone come off/on the clutch while you watch for movement you will be able to determine whether they are shot or not.
Yes, in or around the 100 mark. Try Rufe for a price - it's heavy though so postage might catch you. Also, check the lower front and rear anchorages for cracks/breaks in the rubber. Here are some new ones:
