Hi m8 i cleaned the egr and i think it had a new one before i had it as the pin was shiny and new. The engine only wobbles on startup and stop like one mount is weak. I did notice that when we had the cold weather -10 the wobble went and is worse when weather is warm.

I have the same m8..so watching this thread carefully...when warm and you start it..it shakes like mad...cold in the morning doesn't do it...allthough sometimes it's hit and miss when warm...learning to live with it to be honest...but would like to cure if it possible

Also if you sit with it on idle..rev it you can feel like the engines moving on the mounts...like a tilting affect back/forwards???

Don't know if that's normal?

thought i read somewhere before an issue with the throttle body can cause a shudder when turning engine off, not sure though :/

Yes mine does exactly this, its due to a weak engine mount but witch one? its hard to tell if they dont have damage. I think i may just replace both the bottom ones. I think they are around £40.00 each but its really annoying. Mine is getting that bad that i can feel it wobble on changing gear. It just spoils the car.
