Thread: Td5 engine mounts

Easy as mate. I did my old bus in a few hours. Just be careful jacking from the sump.

All you need is a trolley jack and a few lengths of 2 X 4.

Buy genuine or you will be doing them again

Do you have to unhook radiator and intercooler hoses

I didn't. And the advice on genuine mounts is spot on

I was under the impression that the td5 passenger side mount is quite difficult to remove/refit due to space constraints.
Not impossible to do, just more harder than the drivers side.

What he said, and use genuine. There is a howto some where.
BUT!
From what I remember, do not follow rave, undo the bolts, a 500mm extension is handy.
Jack up the engine, block of wood to protect the sump.

When I jacked my engine up I also undid the two small mounting bolts that hold the coolant crossover pipe in under the radiator, as the hoses were looking a bit stretched as I jacked.
However they can be fiddly to refit back in afterwards.
