New motor mounts = big improvement, but...roaring sound
I took my '87 300D into the shop for new motor mounts, lower ball joints, and a general check-over. After the job was done, it is like a whole new car. So smooth! My old motor mounts must have been really shot.
But the wierd thing is, now the engine sounds different. There is a "roaring" sound that increases with the RPMs. It sounds a little like a 4wd vehicle in low gear. It's definitely the engine though, not the tranny. The only thing I know they did to the engine was to charge the A/C, which was previously void of refrigerant. The sound occurs when the A/C is not actively in use, though...
Any ideas?
