Have recently bought a 1.4 tdi 75 BHP which at 176000 miles has a few noises. The rumble from the engine bay is louder than expected (my other car is an old Landy with a diesel engine). There may be a few causes as a bit of a rattle does often go away on pressing the clutch when in neutral. But overall the other underbonnet noises are a bit too loud. The top end sounds a bit rattly too.
One thought is engine and gearbox mounts. I don't yet have a workshop manual (downloaded the data from an eBay seller but blue screen of death when I try to open the VMWare application to view the data) so, being new to the A2, I don't know what the mounts should look like in good condition, nor where they all are. I found 2 (photos) but suspect there must be another and see people talk of a gearbox dogbone.
Could the wise tell me if these 2 mounts look good or bad please? And are there more to check? Are they hard to replace?
