You would be surprised how well [functional] a Q engine does on 7 cylinders if you can stand the vibration.
How is idle can you feel the engine running with your hand on the plenum.
Worn out engine mounts let a lot of vibrations surface........as do low compression [worn rings]. Is the engine using any oil [at 263k] mine doesn't use a pint in 90 days or 3,000 miles.
When were transmission mounts last changed.
A 260k Q should be on its 3rd set of transmission and engine mounts now.
When ever you buy a 260k car you gota be ready for $5,000-$10,000 in rehabilitation.
