ok ok - - yes yes - you have heard all the noises from a focus - now is time to test you expertise....
When i stop quick and/or accelerate quickly a thump from the fromt on the car happens but disapears as soon as i am driving
second - what is the best way to get a chopped tire smooth again - only 2500km on tires and i just got a re-alignment
third - does anyone know where the motor mounts are in my car - pics would be good (ztw wa-gen 2003)
and somethin else - damn forgot - ok start with these
thanks

its in your engine bay ;)
and it needs to be replaced. As for locating them there are two on top.
1- under your air filter. you must remove the box to see it
2- behind the engine close to the egine wall( am i right on this one?)
3-4 are under the car, but i can't remember where right now

The noises are the motormounts. (possibly)
The tires, buy new ones.

Your #1 noise is likely a cracked spring like I had. The crack happend within the first turn of the coils and hidden by a short rubber sleeve. I cant tell you if it is the first turn from the top or the bottom because I didn't work on the replacement. There is a TSB for it if I remember right.
