Over the last 12 months or so, one of the compressor mounts has been progressively deteriorating and for the past few months has actually been sheared through...no worries: I just tightened it up waiting for replacement mounts to become available at a reasonable price ...the trade off is the increased vibration...

A few days ago I took them all out, the others were going bad also...same issue. I packed the void around vertical brass bush with Loctite "BlueMax" RTV ... waited for it to cure properly and refitted the mounts.

Result: Compressor still able to vibrate on the mounts but they are much stronger and the noise transmission through to the cabin is barely noticeable -certainly no louder than the ABS pump... as short term fix it's OK. Long term wear... will report in due course

Vibration can also be reduced by fitting a few fibre washers beneath the EAS housing. As you may see from the pic below, my EAS housing was vibrating against the body until I put the fibre washers in to lift it just a few mm off the body.


Cheers, Paul.
