The T5 is a very smooth petrol engine , diesels vibrate a lot at lower rpm ..

The front one isn't difficult to replace. For what it's worth put another vac mount in.

Many other vehicles with a diesel engine do not have these Vacuum mounts and appear to be O.K. What is special with these mounts, as the mount has been disconnected (vacuum pipe) there is no difference ,so surely a cheaper version would still do the job , Just asking !

Cheapest I've paid to do the job properly is £38 so exactly how much cheaper are you wanting?

As an experiment (to isolate a noise) I ran mine with the vacuum disconnected. There was a significant increase in noise and vibration without it.
I've re-connected it now and the vibration has gone, however the noise is back - it's from a cheap front mount, every time the vacuum is applied the mount hoots like an owl! |
