Hi,
I think my car needs new engine mounts, due to excessive shake at idle, especially when the car is cold. Worse even now that it's a bit warmer and the car doesn't idle at 850rpm anymore, it's more around 550rpm.
Anyway, I think you can get 2 lemforder mounts plus the gearbox mount for £150-200. But I've read that the labour might be a bit easier on these cars vs the OM651 engine.
Anyone had it done - is it one, two or three hours labour?
Also, did anyone use the mounts from the dealer, do you have a rough price? I'm guessing most dealer parts shops are closed, but it's something to think about with all this free time!
I believe Lemforder are OEM, but I can't find any pictures or sales (eg. MB Newcastle on eBay) of the OEM parts.
Cheers,
Ed
