Volkswagen Motor Mount : Stirred, Not Shaken

Your engine is a collection of tubes and gears that churns out the necessary power for your car to move. Every time you step on the Volkswagen accelerator or climb a steep road, the engine throbs violently from the effort of producing and discharging that power. But, you hardly feel any of it. On account of the Volkswagen motor mount, the car is not shaken even if hard combustion stirs up the engine.

Holding the engine in place, the Volkswagen motor mount absorbs the engine rattle and conveys it smoothly to the ground. It keeps the other parts around the engine from being rattled as well. When you notice that your engine is shaking even while you're at a stop or hear clunking sounds coming from the engine, it is a good time to check the condition of your Volkswagen motor mount.

The Volkswagen motor mount is simply the device where the engine is placed, giving it support and isolating it from other steel parts surrounding it. It consists of two metal parts joined by a rubber insulator. One end of the mounting points is bolted to the engine and the other one is fastened to the vehicle frame.

Most factory-installed Volkswagen motor mounts are designed as a soft, flexible mount. While this creates a comfortable drive, the vehicle is subjected to a larger amount of engine movement, especially on hard acceleration. To determine if your Volkswagen motor mount is still in good repair, look at the rubber insulator and check if it is still moist and intact.

A dry and crumbly rubber insulator means the mounting points are not getting the desired swing required to deaden the vibrations in the engine. It is normal for the bolts to corrode but if the corrosion is at an advanced state, then it is probably time to replace your Volkswagen motor mount. Also check if the bolts are fastened securely to their respective positions. Just remember that a defective Volkswagen motor mount can loosen and detach other nearby parts, not just your engine.

During combustion, only 30 percent of the fuel is converted to mechanical energy, while the bulk of it is converted to heat. To prevent overheating, the Volkswagen cooling system disperses the heat and one way of doing this is to introduce coolant to the engine.
