I'm also tackling this in the next week or so. Do you just need to remove the undertray for the engine mount? Is there anything else? Can you can change the gearbox mount by just taking the battery/airbox out?

Just fitted it and wow, a nice difference! A bit more vibration in the car but gear change is a lot smoother and best of all, my clutch vibration when accelerating is gone. Jackpot. Next thing is new engine mounts I think

Cheers Martin!

Just realised I was meant to post this in the engine/gearbox section!

So I managed to beat everything out and get the powerflex kit on: And fitted it to the car again, I haven't tightened anything yup yet. Can someone tell me where the washers go? I've arrowed them here where I've put them. One between the gearbox and bush and one between the bush and the...

Mine does this also, was more noticeable before I got belts etc changed but it's still there.

yea sorry about that, it's faint alright on the video but in the cabin it's 100% noticable but it certainty wasn't there a while back. It sounds like noisy tappets. Maybe it is the exhaust, I never thought of that actually. IT's not affecting engine performance or mpg, in fact it seems better...

It's a 182 btw.

Hi guys, cam belt, aux belt, dephaser, water pump etc all changed about 3k ago now, but recently there's been a strange chatter or buzz when under acceleration. Car sounds completely fine (to my ears) when idling, revving standing still and coasting with the clutch engaged or not. As soon as...

Here's mine, sorry about the crap video

Hey man, I'll add to this, I've a 182 with the k-tec ultra performance (no mid box but with a cat) and it woo idles like this. Funny I was just searching idling threads and came across yours.

Is it only on acceleration?

MY brakes on my mk2 have been squealing for months. Last weekend I stripped them down, cleaned off all the dust and regreased the back of the pads. Job done!

If you just want to chean it, remove the airbox (2 bolts) and unclip the plug. Simple

They're all the same, as long as it goes normal after a minute or two I wouldn't worry. Mine backfires and all when it's cold and I'm driving.
