An interesting one, which I would appreciate feedback on........
Ive just changed the top engine mount on my 162k miles D5 163. It was wearing an 'original' round type one and it was absolutely GOOSED. The bloody thing fell apart in my hand when I had it off the car. Its now replaced with a shiney new 'square' type.
Apart from curing the bloody rough idle (yay!) its also cured the 'dump valve' sound and lazy turbo I have been experiencing.
The dump valve sound was incredibly noticeable, like you hear on ricer wagons etc and now its completely gone - the turbo is also much quicker to respond, especially when coming on/off the gas at speed in 5th gear etc.
Something has obviously changed, nothing else on the car was touched - the difference is like night/day and im just wondering what has done it.
Ta!
