ThE gOg Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 er, not really mate.Just a distinct shudder on start up, im concerned it may be a worn engine mount.Altho it's done relativley low mileage, judging by the lack of replies it appears it's not a common thing, i'll get it on the ramps and investigate then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAl Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Sounds about normal to be honest.Something to do with the balance of the engine with is being a 3 Cyl. Edited March 30, 2009 by AwesomeAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Possibly dodgy engine mount? Just realized you said this, do you get much wheel hop if pulling away hard in 1st? As I used to get lots in the civic and when I was fitting some engine mount inserts to firm things up, I realized my front one was split. Now the inserts are in and holding everything together, it feels like a new car. Edited March 30, 2009 by simpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
