Definitely a shaking kind of uneven. Almost feels like the whole car is vibrating when I'm stopped. Is that the same thing you experienced? Where should I be looking for the mount, and what am I looking for?

Yep, shaking is exactly what I had. I'm no expert, but it does sound like motor mount failure, even though you've already checked for the error itself. Honestly, with the error code and the shaking, it's probably best to get it checked out by a workshop. They'll be able to pinpoint which mount is the culprit.

I took it to the shop, and you were spot on. It was indeed a defective engine mount, plus a loose cable connection just like I suspected. Cost me 95€ to get it sorted. Runs like a dream now, no more shakes!

SANTRO

I've got a Santro too and that sounds familiar. I had some vibration issues at idle a while back. Check the engine mounts, especially the rubber ones. Is it a shaking kind of uneven, or more like a misfire?
