I checked this one out, and I found the exhaust hanger at the
transmission to be (almost) gone due to rust.. Broken in two pieces,
one still at transmission and one at the exhaust. I'll order a new one
tomorrow and check if the noise goes away.. But anyway, on a turbo
engine, the exhaust pipe is located pretty far away from the
driveshaft, but you'll never know.. :-)

I don't know the condition of the motor mounts, but I believe they're
on their way out, as the car vibrates pretty much at idle..
