mounts

Has anybody here actually done this job on a 500E? Apparently the downpipe needs to be removed along with the steering box moved out of the way, I was just wondering if there is another way, the car is currently at a local German Car specialist. Dave!

Is there supposed to be this big a gap between the top of the subframe and the car body? :eek:

well I just replaced both the engine mounts on the W124 250 TD. One of the old ones rattled (after I took it off), so I took that as a good sign. First one took about an hour to figure out how to do, second, with hindsight took 10 minutes! The engine still moves quite a deal from side to...

Quick question here, When MB supply engine mounts for these cars they differentiate between cars with and withiout air conditioning. I'm assuming the type for cars with air con are slightly beefier to cope with the extra weight/load? Is that correct or are they a different physical size...

Hi all Just thought I'd share with you my results of changing the engine and gearbox mounts. Totally transformed the drive of the car, much much quieter and smoother. (Didn't even realise the engine was on when sitting in the car!) Also, the original gearbox mount had split and now with the...

Does any one know how long it takes to change engine mounts on a w202 c280? I've been quoted ~5hours labour from MB, but 1.5 hours from a specialist...bit of a difference! Related thread --> http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=34266

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a good online MB store? Thanks. Christian.

At 176,000 miles the engine mounts could do with changing. The car shakes slightly when the engine is killed, and the steering wheel vibrates gently when idling. Not things a Merc should do. Job should take about 2 hours, no more. Tools required: Ramps Scissor jack (or trolley jack but...

I am about to order 2 new engine mounts for my E300TD. The belt tensioning device has yet again decided to pee its contents over the front of the engine (its the shocker that keeps going). http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=157401 I have the exact same symptoms as that...

Does anyone knows if there was recall / problem with engine mounts on w211 / s211. If so do you happen to know recall number/code. Regards

hi, what the hell are strut mounts? i know they stop rubbing etc but how do they work and are they easy to fit? cheers Ben

Hi all, this is my first posting and my first Merc. I am thinking I may have got my fingers burnt!! The car is an E reg 300ce 83k and having just put it in to my garage for a complete check over as the MOT will be due in June during my holiday I thought fore warned and all that. Anyway my BIG...

How big a job is this? I'm presuming its a simple job of jacking the engine and replacing the mounts? Any bolts or awkward bits to remove? Would new mounts from ECP be ok? I'm only considering this job because of mileage (167000) and age (1997), and because the steering wheel vibrates a...

Just been driving along in my E55 210 when I feel this horrible vibration through the steering. I looked in the engine bay and noticed that the engine was sitting at a funny angle, the right hand engine mount had completely collapsed. Good job I was only going slowly at the time. Anbody...

Im after a set of the numberplate mounting boards as seen on pages 58-61 of this months Mercedes Enthusiasts magazine. On them they have: ///AMG Mercedes-Benz AG ///AMG And are grey. I know some people have got these off eBay, but is that the only place? or do some online shops sell them?

I remember reading somewhere that once new engine mounts have been fitted, you need to have the bolts retightened after 1000 km. Does anyone know the details (torque etc)? I might have seen this in a mercedes service bulletin, but I cant seem to find it again!

I couldn't get to the oil filter on my 98 S500 until I jacked up the motor. Just put a block of wood on a floor jack under the oil pan and that was that. But that was sort of like fingernails on a blackboard for me. The motor feels smooth as a baby's butt, and car is wonderfully smooth. So...
