Noticed my engine seems to have started to wobble when looking at it on idle. Car runs fine, no activity on the Knock Link, no strange noises etc
I have to hold my hand up and say that on a run out yesterday i went to change from 5th to 4th and acciddently and very momentarily put it into 2nd! Took it easy after doing so and took a look under the bonnet when i came to a stop just to have a check and thats when i noticed the wobble. Slowly started to add the speed whilst checking the knock link, oil temps/pressure and the car is running spot on.
What might be causing the wobble? Could the cambelt have jumped a tooth or would i experience more than just a wobbly engine? Possibly an engine mount?
Any advise or input is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an engine mounting, I had the two back ones replaced for a similar wobble on tickover. Nothing else seemed to be effected except a little smoother gear changing and less lurch when throttle on/off.

Cheers John, hopefully thats all it is, maybe the sudden jolt when i put it into second was enough to damage a mount rather than anything else (fingers crossed) Some further investigation with the spanners required.
