Motor Mounts
How noticeable is the ticking/diesel sound from the motor mount issue, loud like a diesel car, slight/you have to really listen for it or very obvious?
Thanks

I would describe it as a slight, but noticeable, "ticking" sound. More like lifters in an old GM car than a diesel.
You would hear it between 20 mph and 40 mph and/or when pulling a hill at slower speeds. I could never hear it at higher speeds.
New motor mounts and it was gone.

If you have the radio on or the windows down it becomes pretty hard to hear but otherwise it is noticeable but not loud. Mine happens from 1200-2500 RPMs under light-medium acceleration. I plan on getting mine replaced next weekend.
