Engine Performance problem
1999 Volkswagen Jetta 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have had a vibration problem with my engine. Had it check, it was the supports (motor mount supports). About 2 and 1/2 months later it happened again, I was told it was a rod that also support the engine/motor that runs in the bottom and screws up - also acts like a support? Is there such a thing? and what is it called? I was told the only fix would be a new motor? Please help me.

hi barriaga, Thanks for donating, Yes there is a motor mount that supports the bottom of your motor and its called a lower motot mounr, sometimes it is the transmission mount as well. Does the motor have any problems, how does it run? let me know

Okay, the car runs. except at stopped it vibrates. However, I did find out that there is a rod that is some how connected to the chasis? and it acts like a support. so what has been replaced are the two motor mounts that act like cushions. But this other rod thing is getting me. I just don't know what to do. Thanks so much for your help.

That rod thing is a motor mount as well. It is a different style of motor mount and could be the cause of your viberation. It supports the bottom of your engine.
