Hello,
I have had the pass side motor mount recently replaced on my 86.5 16V, but
the vibration/noise has not diminished (in fact, I think it is now worse,
and a new vibration mode has certainly appeared out of nowhere, when I rev
up and between 3200 and 3400rpm).
Looked at the motor mount last night, and it is placed as shown in this
picture:

(so, the bolt hole sits closer to the ground, and this seems to make sense
to me,
but I am not sure).
Does anyone know for sure whether this is the correct placement of the
mount, or
whether it is upside down? (I have had a mount placed upside down in an 8V
that I had, so I am very suspicious --the shop admitted their fault and put
in another
mount later).
Also: what else could have caused the increased noise? Belts too tight?
Other?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Elias
