I recently had a Volvo v5 diesel that required a new top engine mount, which I fitted and all is well
My Merc has the same problem vibrating on start-up and idling as well as an underlying noise, "thrummm" as well a vibration as I drive
1. When I drive and go round a left-hand bend, the vibration reduces/stops as does the noise
2. When I go round a right-hand bend, it vibrates more and it's louder
3. When I push the airbox on the passenger side to the left, the vibration reduces/stops depending on how hard I push it
It's been suggested that the airbox mounts need replacing
So, here are my questions for those of you that know these things inside out and more
1. Do the airbox mounts ever break/stop working?
2. Are they easy to check if they are in fact at fault?
3. Is it easy to check the engine mounts? Presumably, there's a way to do that?
Discuss
Thanks
