    Hey, recently noticed car is shaking when in traffic or stationary (idle), opened bonned and noticed engine is kind of vibrating/shaking so I assume it's engine mounts.
    How much does it cost to get that fixed? also is it an urgent problem that needs attention or not big of a deal?

    Does it affect NCT?
    Thanks.

    Won't effect nct if it's just an engine mount but it sounds like it could be more than that. An engine mount gone will make an engine jumpy as you dip the clutch or when taking off. Your sounds more like a misfire. I'd get a vcds scan done if I were you.

    Oh, well then also few things to mention:
    When I kind of try to move engine myself, it doesn't feel too solidly mounted, it feels like it's sliding or something.

    When in idle, if I want car to stop shaking I just apply bit of gas to about 700 rpm and it doesnt vibrate then.

    Also there in idle the RPM is bouncing about 10-20 rpm, can barely see the dial moving.

    you might have a vacuum leak, would give you the hunting idle you discribed.
