Mine does that too.  I thought they all did.

Subject: Vanagon motor mounts chirping?

For a long time now (and I guess I'm just used to it) I have had a
slight but consistent chirping (think: baby chickens) noise coming from
the engine compartment. I assume it to be an engine mount, because i
only hear it when the engine is running less than smoothly. When
accelerating on a smooth roadway, it does not occur.

Question is, is this common? I have never been in any other Vanagon, so
I personally don't know. Also, is this something that can be fixed
easily. I searched the archives, but saw nothing describing this
problem.

Thanks in advance.
