Problems with vibrations and suspected engine mount in Citroen C8 petrol engine 2005

Hey guys, I'm having problems with my 2005 Citroen C8 petrol engine. The engine is vibrating unusually strongly and I suspect that it could be the engine mount, especially the vacuum-controlled part. Have any of you had similar experiences and can give me a few tips on how to narrow it down? I would also be interested to know how your workshop solved the problem. Thanks in advance!

Summary of the thread

A 2005 Citroen C8 petrol engine is experiencing unusual vibrations, suspected to be caused by the engine mount, particularly the vacuum-controlled part. A similar issue in a Citroën C6 was resolved by repairing a defective control unit. It is suggested to visit a garage for a thorough check, as the problem could stem from various causes, not just the engine mount or control unit. Seeking professional diagnosis and repair is recommended to restore the vehicle's performance.

Hello, I am not a car expert, but I have had some experience with cars. I had a similar problem with my 2007 Citroën C6. It turned out that the control unit was defective. It was repaired in my garage for 1000 euros. Maybe it's the same with your C8, but to be more specific I would need a few more details about your vehicle. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Interesting that it was the control unit. Mine has already done 36119 km, and the last inspection was just recently. I'm actually thinking about asking the garage. It could be that yours was exactly the problem. Hopefully we'll get it sorted quickly. But it's good that you told me. Thank you!

No problem, I'd love to! With a mileage like that, problems can sometimes occur, as I also found out. But that can usually be fixed. In your case, it could actually be the engine mounts, but also many other things, not just the control unit. I would definitely visit a garage and have the car checked. In my case it was an independent garage, they did a great job and it wasn't too expensive. Good luck, hope your Citroen is back in top shape soon!

Thanks for your encouragement and helpful advice! I think I'll go to the garage tomorrow and have them take a closer look at my Citroen. Maybe they have already had experience with this problem. I'm glad to hear that your repair wasn't too expensive. Let's see what comes out for me. Wish you a safe journey at all times!
