Skoda Fabia Diesel Vibration Issue Resolved

My 2005 Skoda Fabia diesel with 162857 km has uneven idling, and the error memory logged an error. My mechanic suspects a defective engine mount, possibly from a faulty cable or plug connection, causing vibration. Has anyone experienced this? They quoted 95€ for the repair. Could it be something else?

Whoa, that sounds like my Fabia! Is the engine light on? I'm no expert, but it could be a failed mount. These absorb engine vibrations, so failure causes bad vibrations. Has the mechanic checked the transmission mount?

The engine light is on! When you say 'failed mount', do you mean the mounting bracket, or a related sensor? And what is the transmission mount?

By 'failed mount' I mean the mounting bracket that physically holds the engine. The transmission mount supports the transmission. Both reduce vibration. If the mechanic suspects a defective engine mount, trust their judgement. 95€ sounds reasonable. Visit the workshop.

Thanks for the help! You were spot on. The mechanic confirmed a defective engine mount, likely from a faulty connection. They replaced the mounting bracket, and the vibration is completely gone. The final bill was 95€, as estimated.
