hopefully not too OT...  I discovered while my Jetta was up on jacks that I can move the engine in it's mounts by hand - not just a flex, but sort of a tip / clunk.  Am I correct in assuming that it's time for new mounts?



more than likely.

Thanks.  Guess I'll be adding this to my to do list.  Fortunately the parts aren't too pricey.  Hopefully a relatively simple job.  Any warnings?
