03 1.9TDi Diesel Vibration - Stace
HJ,
My car is a 2003 Leon 1.9 TDI SE110 which I believe is quite old VW technology, but is it old enough not to have the infamous dual density flywheel issues?
As the car approaches 70K miles it has a slight increase in the normal agricultural VW diesel vibes and was wondering if new engine mounts would help?
Regards,
Chris

It is possible that could cure it, you should be able to see the engine rock excesivly when you rev it up from under the bonnet if its the mounts being worn.

My 1.9 skoda had a bit of a vibration until I did the cam belt and it vanished (timing must have been so very slightly out). setting it up with the correct locking kit worked well and the amount adjusted to bring it all in to line was tiney almost un noticabe, but the vibration has now gone!
