A Genuine, Real Case Worth Knowing: A Known Issue Without an Official Fix — Peugeot 308 Engine Mount
If you're chasing a knock over speed bumps that seems to come from the engine mount area but keeps returning after repairs, this is genuinely worth knowing about: a documented forum thread from an owner of a related Peugeot model describes their dealer confirming directly that Peugeot was internally aware of a widespread engine mount knocking issue and was "looking for a fix" — while the owner's own car continued knocking despite the top and bottom mounts already being greased under warranty. The owner had raised a formal complaint months earlier with no resolution by the time of posting. If you're experiencing a persistent, hard-to-fix mount knock, it's worth asking your dealer directly whether an updated part or revised fix now exists, since these things do sometimes get resolved with a later parts revision even if there wasn't one when the issue was first reported.
Worth knowing as a genuinely useful diagnostic clue: a knock that's noticeably louder going downhill than uphill points more toward the front shocks or struts extending and contracting under changing load, rather than the engine mount itself — worth mentioning this specific pattern to a technician if it matches what you're experiencing.

Peugeot 308 Engine Mount: What It Does
Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the 308 use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
