#3: Re: engine mounts Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 2:59 am ---- had a look there last night mate, but couldent seem to find them, ill buy them from my local motor factor in the end but like to have a price to compare against. Have you had any experience of fitting them?
#4: Re: engine mounts Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 4:33 am ---- are you talking about the one that is close to the cars ECU,in the drivers side?
If so,it's an easy job,you need to place the lift or you jack under the engine,but you need to be careful with the oil container,so you don't damage it,then you move it up so that the weight on the mount go away,and you can take it out easily,so the jack support the engine now,get the new engine mount on,and then do the process backwards.
Good Luck

#6: Re: engine mounts Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 6:13 am ---- well the one we r talking about consist of 3 mounts in total,as you can see there is 2 small ones (left and right) according to the center of the large one,that is fixed on the chassis,this one is usually worn out,because it hold all the weight of the engine,and the job of the upper 2 is when you change gear,the engine go back and forth,so they absorb the shock and make it un-noticable,keep me posted,hope all well work well.
#7: Re: engine mounts Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 6:56 am ---- ah thanks for that, min has lost one of the smaller ones, hence why it feels like the front wheels want to change direction when you allerate /back out of the allerlarator, ill have a better look this evening and work out exactly what i need
#8: Re: engine mounts Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 10:50 am ---- You'll also need a chain type oil filter remover to unscrew the old mount.
The black rubbery one is the one you'll be removing. Has the ECU been removed before? They are held on with security nuts and need cutting off. You need to remove the ECU to access the engine mount.
#9: Re: engine mounts Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:37 am ---- cheers for that edward bloddy brillent, i used to have a chain filter remover, but cant for the life of me think where it is!
do you grind the nuts off to remove the ecu? didnt get a change to look last night as its dark by the time i get home. how much where the up rated mounts? not going to put them on mine, hardly worth it! but just nosey!!
#10: Re: engine mounts Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 5:28 am ---- on another note is there any differenc betwwen these mounts? been looking at prices and seem to vary massivly. also is it the same part for any 206, or is it for that engine will a 406hdi mount fit of example??
#11: Re: engine mounts Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 7:43 am ---- just picked up a new mount from the motor factor £13 might not be the best but itll do the job for me!!!
#12: Re: engine mounts Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 2:32 pm ---- changed the top mount yesterday, hell of a job but got there in the end, hardest bit was getting the old one out no space!! and then line the engine up with the new one.
anyway it was all in vain as although it has stopped the engine moving about so much, i jacked it up today and relised that the drivers side trailing arm is fecked!! on the hunt for a second hand rear beam now, mot is 2moz hopeing it passes then change the rear beam, then she going up for sale

My 1.4 hdi is similar with a main engine mount and smaller buffer rubbers to control fore and aft movement of the engine. I noticed that the ally beam (for want of a better word) from the engine sits fairly close to the large buffer rubber at the rear but there is a gap of about 3mm between the beam and the front smaller buffer rubber, is that correct?
