[T3] Since I replaced the runner boots and all vacuum lines noticed

[bobsnotch at aol.com]

Having the right door rattle is very common with these cars. I think a lot of it is 
from the "boxer engine design". I get it sometimes with my MT car, and the 69 
Square I have in the garage does it too (MT car). I didn't notice it as much in 
my old 71 Notch, but then it did get a CW crank when I built that engine.

Yes, most of all the rear subframe rubber bushings are hard by now, but then I 
don't think VW planned on them lasting as long as they have (40+ years). 

About the only trans mount you can't get is the AT mount (it's NLA). It's also the 
mount that sees the most abuse, due to unsupported engine removal.

Just my take on things from type 3 ownership over the years.
Bob

The other issue with the higher idle is this car
has always had a vibration and only when at a stop in drive I can hear the
right door window rattle and can feel it through the entire car. The higher
idle just makes it worse. I do have much newer rear mounts I intend to
change just to see if that is the cause and a newer auto trans mount .
Their not new yet probably newer than the ones on my car. I only recall a
few times it did not do this years ago when we had a long rainy season I
just don't see how dampness would affect rubber mounts. It's been damp here
and has rained and that made no difference at all. Rebuilding the engine
and trans didn't change the vibration one bit. I imagine most people who own 
these older cars have the original subframe mounts and even engine and trans mounts.
