Mount Wear in Malaysian Stop-Start Traffic
Hydraulic engine mounts in the Polo dampen vibration from the 1.0 TSI / 1.2 TSI engine. Constant stop-start traffic in Malaysia causes more mount flex cycles per kilometre than highway driving. Worn mounts transmit vibration into the cabin and cause engine rock under throttle application and release. At 4M Car Care we inspect engine and gearbox mounts at every major service by rocking the engine by hand — a worn mount shows visible movement. Mount replacement on the Polo typically costs per mount including labour.
