Re: Audi 5000 s Vibration

Jay,

You may want to check the two front liquid fill engine mounts. You can clearly
see the one on the driver side it's behind the radiator. It's looked like
a toilet plunger without the handle. They tend to fail after a while. The 
passenger side one is harder to spot, it's next to the exhaust manifold and
it's partially covered by a heat shield. Find the driver side one first 
then you have an idea what to look for on the passenger side.
