1984 944 Heavy vibration at idle

Hi all:

My 1984 944 has had a heavy vibration at idle since purchasing it a year and a half ago. Everything runs well(very well in fact) and I have mainly made cosmetics repairs other than an alternator replacement.

My friend who is more mechaniocal than I am said that he thought vacuum leak somewhere could be the culprit, while I suspected motor mounts.

Has anyone else had this problem, or know if this is typical for that year and model? (It's anon-turbo, auto transmission version, by the way.)

Thanks

David

Could be a vacuum leak; however, motor mounts or an issue with the belt that runs the counter balance shaft is more likely.

The motor mounts collapse. Get solid replacements or get real Porsche hydraulic mounts. The aftermarket > Could be a vacuum leak; however, motor mounts or an issue with the belt that
