Thread: TD5 engine mounts.

will keep you guys informed on the outcome. i suspect the genuine mounts will fix the issue.

so drivers side changed out this morning to genuine and its a different vehicle. back to smooth idle and no vibration at 2100 on cruise. the exhaust rattle is back now though at 2100.
so anyone contemplating changing engine mounts, i strongly recommend genuine only.
had i not have driven the car before the non genuine mounts were put in and not realised how smooth these vehicles run, i may have been able to cope with the non genuine as it really only made it idle like a patrol deisel, but thats not good enough for me

genuine it is

also checked the rear mounts while i was under and they look to be ok.
in the end i possibly changed these mounts before they needed changing as there is not a lot of difference in the sitting height from the old ones to the new genuine ones. but hey, thats one thing less i have to worry about on my next trip up the cape or across the simpson
