Thanks all. We checked today and it was indeed the mount...in really bad shape it was!

Please, a scan was run and it showed that the ABS left sensor (front and back) was faulty. I asked them to do this cause the ABS was always showing on the dashboard while driving. Please do I need to replace this or just repair? Both front and rear the machine detected as faulty. Advice pls.

DECOtech:
Its definitely the engine mounts.

God bless you for this info. I just called my local mechanic now and he confirmed that it might be the engine mount/seat(is it also called seat?).

But is it this same mount that makes it jerk when one is slowing down towards traffic?

Also remember sir that the "kum" sound and jerking mentioned before above only happens when the gear is changed to REVERSE. Do you feel we're still on the right track to say it's the engine mount?

AutosBay:
Try checking your fuel pump.

For?

A friend just got a used golf 4 and it jerks when he engages the reverse gear (that's after it first makes a "kum" sound). While we drove, i also noticed that when he slows down upon seeing traffic, the car jerks then too until he engages the neutral gear. He doesnt know what to do so i thought to bring the case here. I need expert knowledge and advice on this issue.
