Author	Subject: Knocking engine mount
Kenan Regular Location: Exmouth Registered: 20 Oct 2013 Posts: 307 Status: Offline	Post #1 Hi guys, I have change the upper engine mount and the buffer thing that sites with it. The loud knocking is now gone but there is still a random light knocking that seems to be coming from the same area. I spotted a thread on here where someone advised jamming something solid down by the buffer, can I ask why you need to do this (might resolve my issue?)

Post #2 Shouldn't be knocking if its in correctly did you check the steel around the mount base sometimes needs ablob of weld if its been collecting moisture otherwise best to take a short vid post it on YouTube and set a link tis always hard to diagnose on a discription ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenix WHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history

These are very common to crack. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft" Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone

Not really any help for your situation though. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car.
