GS Hybrid Uneven Idle

Hey! I had something similar with my GS! Is it a really rough idle, almost like the engine's gonna stall? I was getting some weird vibrations too. I was thinking it was a failed mount. Did you check the mounting bracket for cracks or anything?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the idling is quite rough, and the vibrations are noticeable. I checked the mounting bracket visually but didn't see any obvious cracks. Do you remember if the error code you got pointed specifically to a motor mount or something else?

You know what, I don't remember the exact code. But the mech told me it was the mount. Honestly, it's probably best to just get it checked out at a workshop. They can diagnose it properly and tell you for sure.

Thanks for sharing your experience; it's been helpful. I took it to a local workshop, and the estimate is 95€ to replace the defective cable or plug connection.
